The kernel is compiled with the pcm driver; playing mp3's works. I set the mixer values all the way up and attempted to record from my microphone, by using cat /dev/audio >file. The file gets nothing but 0x80s which is mu-law zero. I have no reason to believe this is a hardware problem and I've done the steps corresponding to what made the last sound card I had work (an sb16 -- which simply doesn't work with the pcm driver, never mind what the docs say). I'm stumped. About the only thing I haven't tried is using the old driver but, all things considered, I'd like to get my sound working with the new one. Anyone have suggestions on what to do next?
