this is something of a common issue. often speakers are connected to the surround output (instead of front or as we call it, "master") by default. we've decided to override this default since most people just play stereo files. patches to work this out are being worked on. > However, what still does not work on my ThinkPad X61s is recording using > the built-in microphone.

I'll get to the AD codecs after I'm finished with ALC and STAC. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
