You cannot set 'vol' as a recording source, it is an output device. You conclude correctly that your recording devices are mic and mix.

You cannot set 'vol' as a recording source, it is an output device. " Actually the box that's sitting in front of me can do this: $ 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 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0 Mixer igain is currently set to 0:0 Mixer ogain is currently set to 50:50 Mixer line1 is currently set to 75:75 Mixer phin is currently set to 0:0 Mixer phout is currently set to 0:0 Recording source: vol Of course it's a totally different system running FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE 32bit as opposed to 64bit. Also it has a much older sound card which may have better support?? Anyway this is what I'm after as currently I can't get my Darkice/Icecase2/Drupal5 streaming service working as there's no sound input!! I think it's probably just the driver for the HD audio interface in my view. But how to sort or who to go to, to help sort?? Regards, Kaya
