Everything works perfectly except sound recording (playback is fine). The sound hardware in the laptop is OK, as I've tried it with Windows and Linux under which both recording and playback are OK. I've checked and doublechecked mixer volumes, and tried a variety of different sound recording software. The symptoms of the problem are as follows - I can plug a microphone in and turn up the mixer volume to the Mic, and set the recording source to the Mic, which causes the sound from my microphone to be echoed back onto the output channel. (So sound mixing is OK). But in all cases but one if I try to make a recording I get silence - the remaining case being rawrec, which just locks and requires a kill -9 to terminate. The programs I have tried are: - wavrec (from wavplay) - wmrecord - xwave - glame - gnomemeeting (the actual main reason why I want recording to work, BTW) - rawrec (as mentioned above) Dmesg output follows: Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.
