Unfortunately with all the playing I have done in the past with mixer levels (several hours at different times) I have been unable to get an acceptable quality. Hence I have been considering the brute force filter approach. Toby P.S. my main laptop is a toshiba dynabook RX1/T7E (portege r500), but I am having similar issues with an asus eee 901a, has anyone had specific experience with those models? 2009/6/3 Jud Craft <craftjml at gmail.com> > Your microphone should have the same capability under ALSA that it > does under Windows.
