Hi! My mom has a laptop with the following sound card: lspci: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40) driver: snd_hda_intel alsamixer: Card: HDA ATI SB Chip: Conexant CX20585 I can't record from this card no matter what I try. It seems that alsamixer has a lot more options than pulseaudio: Mic B <Capture switch> Mic C <Capture switch> Mic E <Capture switch> Mic F <Capture switch> Capture <0% -- 100% slider> Analog Mic Boost <0 db -- 40 db slider with 10 db increment> Nevertheless, I will attach the output from pacmd list-sources. I have tried to record from each mic in turn, I have tried the different boost levels (0 db - 40 db), but I have had no luck picking up anything. I have attached an external mic to the line-in, but no difference. When I say "I have tried to record" I mean that I logged into her computer, chose one of the mics from the above list, and then I told my mom to say something while looking at the input sound level indicator in the GNOME sound settings panel. On other computers, I have found this a sufficient indication of whether the mic works. Is this inability to record a known limitation of this sound card? If not, is there some special setting I have to modify to make it work? TIA for your help, Gabriel -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
