Hi, I got a c-media cmi8738 sound card on my computer as soundcard on board. It is working so far, the only problem i have, and which i want to solve with your help is the mic boost switch. It happens that it's effect is only noticeable on the mic monitoring output, but the record level which i obviously need for voice-chat programs remains untouched by this switch. This behavior is untypical for this soundcard because under m$-os things are set streight for booth playback and record level when turning on the mic-boost. I must notice that alsa is runnig as modules with kernel-image-2.4.22-k7 build ready to install from the debian software repository. Was anyone successfull in making the mic boost switch effective for booth record and mic monitoring levels with the cmi8738 on debian? Unfortunately the free-oss drivers which one can set up using sndconfig don't provide mic support at all. Help would be appreciated, and please be so kind and include me in your cc: because i am not subscribed to this list. And in case it might be helpful to anyone of you, here's my /etc/asound.state right as i am using it at the moment. Regards, Attila.
