You could confirm it by trying to open the capture device using a simpler utility, such as arecord. If you get the same result, then you have nicely excluded audacity from the problem, and identified the kernel driver as likely cause. What I recommend ... check for a more recent kernel in whatever distribution you are using. What I would do if I knew I could rebuild the kernel ... check for patches to kernel source directory sound/pci/ice1712 after verison 2.6.19. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
