Sorry, something happened to your post. You can record via line-in but no line in? If what you are saying is that by plugging a source into the line-in jack on the card, and using say arecord you can record, but that there is no slider to alter the volume of the line-in recording, then it maybe that the card has no volume control for the line-in. Or it may be, as on many cards, that the line-in volume control controls only how much of the input is fed back into the output on the card. On many cards, it is Igain in the alsamixer which controls the input volume, but I have also heard of cards which have no input volume control. Alternatively they may label the input volume control as Mic. > > Has anybody else seen this kind of problem? Any pointers to good > resources?

It sounds to me like you want to use the OSS emulation, rather than alsa directly. you then want to put lines like thse into /etc/modules.conf alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss These set up the various OSS sound emulations. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
