Still no luck. However, if I reduce the record rate to 8 bits instead of 16, the sound comes out a little more clearer. This uses the recording program supplied with the Gnome. I think it's called "grecord". But there's still too much static and squeeking. I guess I'm confused about the recording rate. There's a sample rate, which is set to 48000 I believe. "grecord" lets you set this, as well as another parameter with values 8 or 16 (bit is the unit). Thanks, Chris.
