The problem is I cannot record any sound on my FreeBSD 5.3 machine. I 
read the multimedia mailing list archives but couldn't find anything 
enlightening. I'll try to include all relevant information I can think of.

Here's an extract from pciconf -lv


emu10kx0@pci0:15:0:     class=0x040100 card=0x10021102 chip=0x00041102 
rev=0x04 hdr=0x00
     vendor   = 'Creative Labs'
     device   = 'SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Audigy 2 Audio Processor'
     class    = multimedia
     subclass = audio


Here's the output of mixer, everything looks reasonable in my opinion:


%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  50:50
Mixer cd       is currently set to  75:75
Mixer rec      is currently set to  75:75
Mixer ogain    is currently set to  50:50
Mixer line1    is currently set to  75:75
Mixer phin     is currently set to  75:75
Mixer phout    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer video    is currently set to  75:75
Recording source: mic


And here's the output of "emuctrl list in":


# emuctrl list in

in6     AUX2                     75:75  (75:75)


Here /dev/sndstat:


# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <EMU10Kx PCM Interface> on emu10kx0 (16p/1r/0v channels duplex 
default)



I'm trying to record using audacity, which produces no errors, but 
records only silence. I've tried both "mic" and "line1" devices. No luck 
with Skype either. The mic works with my windows machine. So, how should 
I continue?

best regards,
Sakari Ellonen
