For example on my laptop I see: % mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75 Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75 Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75 Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0 Mixer line1 is currently set to 75:75 Mixer phin is currently set to 0:0 Mixer phout is currently set to 0:0 Mixer video is currently set to 75:75 Mixer monitor is currently set to 75:75 To set recording from line in I use something like: % mixer =rec line rec 75 Setting the mixer rec to 75:75. Recording source: line For some reason you are not showing the "rec" control, but you do have an "igain" (input gain) control. You might need to try setting that value to 100. Looking at a new system I've recently installed, I also see igain instead of rec as a mixer setting. Can anyone explain the difference (if any) between the rec and igain controls? Also as a side issue, I use the "line in" input on my laptop quite often. I've been looking at replacement laptops lately and don't see any which have a "line in" input. They all seem to only have a mic input. Checking Windows XP on them often shows a control panel recording control for line in and the store personnel are pretty clueless about the difference between line in and microphone in. Does anyone know why laptops are no longer including line in connectors? Have they gone to some sort of combined input connector or am I pretty much out of luck with current models?
