This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig3469E06BE5FC379EB9815528 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable OK, I've read the mixer man page, the mic is set as recording source, yet even with mic playback and (apparent) sensitivity to max, I barely get anything recorded using Audacity. Am I missing something? Do I need to use mixer -s =3Drec mic (I set it with mixer -S =3Drec, though it seem= s either one does the same thing). Mixer vol is currently set to 100:100 Mixer bass is currently set to 100:100 Mixer treble is currently set to 100:100 Mixer synth is currently set to 100:100 Mixer pcm is currently set to 100:100 Mixer speaker is currently set to 100:100 Mixer line is currently set to 100:100 Mixer mic is currently set to 100:100 Mixer cd is currently set to 100:100 Mixer igain is currently set to 100:100 Mixer ogain is currently set to 100:100 Mixer monitor is currently set to 100:100 Recording source: mic The above is my playback options for the mixer. I'd like to adjust the sensitivity for the mic when recording and not just for playback (ideally I'd like playback to be zero - or as close to it as possible - and recording be at max). I've found a few posts on the subject[0][1] but nothing really dealing with my problem (the closest they get is Audacity, but both are written from a Windoze POV), though I did get some good ideas from the first one (setting up a project with some default tags and the like). I'll record, with the mic at 100% for playback, a sample and toss it up on my website[2] in wav format so you folks can hear what I'm dealing with. Any suggestions would be appreciated (I'm sure it's something rather obvious I'm missing, it usually is (I've got my snakebite kit ready, jic)). The recording was made with the mic right in front of the mouth, with me talking at normal volume (which is pretty loud according to most folks I know) and playback sensitivity at max. The audio was recorded at 44100Hz, 32-bit floating point and straight-exported as a wav. Reported size (by web server) is 1.5MB (YMMV).
