Hi, If you want to test the sound input you should start with arecord. arecord -f cd -d hw:0,0 test.wav You can find the hw number for you card with cat /proc/asound/cards - Before you do the recording you should disable pulseaudio if it is running. pulseaudio -k You can always start it again after with pulseaudio - D If the recording with arecord does not work you might have an alsa setup issue.
