I think whether this really works is somewhat hardware/ driver dependent. at any rate, unmute this until you get something, then try muting it. probably record.mic should not be 0. that looks like a monoaural volume control. > All I get if I do dd if=/dev/audio of=myvoice.raw is some scrambled sound. > Sounds like the background noise on every Audiodevice just much louder. > > I'm sure I miss something but I don't figure out what it is. well, the auvia devices I have don't record at all. most likely there is just some input switched with some output, since I have to plug my speakers into the mic jack to get audio. still haven't figured that out yet. anyway, if the above suggestions don't help, I would also suggest trying a different encoding, like slinear_le and using /dev/sound instead of /dev/audio. mulaw is emulated on auvia. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
