So does pulseaudio currently fail to open the mic? The global default sample rate can be set in daemon.conf, but that's probably not what you want. If pulseaudio can't open the device by default, you should be able to create the source just by inserting this line somewhere in your default.pa: load-module module-alsa-source source_name=mic device=front:<alsa card index> rate=16000 That should be on one line. You can find the card index in /proc/asound/cards. Unfortunately the index may not be stable across reboots. Instead of the index you should be able to use the card name. For example my /proc/asound/cards contains this: 0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB HDA ATI SB at 0xfe024000 irq 16 The string in the brackets, in this case "SB", is the card name. So I could use front:SB as the device. -- Tanu Kaskinen
