It is advisable to follow the same as it then allows the use of alsaconf which is a boon when you want to configure your card. I've added some options for my alsa modules in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, e.g.: options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 This is exasperating. After re-building alsa sound support as kernel modules, rather than built into the kernel, I see some improvement. When I blow into the internal mic I hear it from the laptop speakers. With mic-boost turned up, I can hear myself echoing when I talk into the internal mic or into an external mic. Turn up the boost high enough, and the external mic generates a mean high-ptched feedback squeal, unless I also plug in headphones. So the hardware is working now, *BUT I STILL CAN'T RECORD THE BLEEPING THING*. When I try ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp audio.wav it thinks it's recording, but the output file is only hiss. Ditto for the command ffmpeg -f alsa -i plughw:0,0 audio.wav. Seems that the mic works, but is not selected for capture... (routing it to speakers recording from it are two different things ;) You basically need to tell alsa which sources to record from, which may be different from which are just unmuted in the mixer (and thus playing from the speakers). I've seen a few different sets of alsa controls on different sound cards that control the record sources, these are the two I remember: Run alsamixer, pres F4 (capture) and either look for - a mic control (along with CD, Line, Aux,... controls), then make sure it has a red CAPTURE text (spacebar toggles CAPTURE) - if you dont't have separate Mic, Line, ... controls, try looking for a Input source control, you should be able to use up/down arrows to change it to mic Also in both cases make sure a Capture control has CAPTURE on too.. You might have more Mic sources two choose from, or you might also have a Mic Select control, with which you can switch between different mics, so you might have to experiment to find which is the correct one... yoyo

[gentoo-user] [OT] etho app rating 10/100 etc in megabytes
I've gotten confused on this problem way too many times.. I'd like to get some definitive starting points. When you see net adapters online they are always rated like 10/100 or 10/100/1000. So how does one turn that notation into megabytes? I think those numbers stand for bits, right? But still, when I'm trying to measure how much data is moving to a certain directory, and I want to compare it to what the adapter is supposed to do... (in some easy homeboy way). I vaguely remember something about 8 bits to a byte or maybe its the other way round... My homeboy transfer measurements: I measure the incoming MegaBytes as measured with `du' with a while loop interating in settable intervals. So in this case when set to 60 seconds,I now the number of megabytes that arrive in 60 seconds but would like to know how to convert that to the other notation. I'm seeing between 222 and 237 MB in a full minute being transferred and it seems quite slow for what is supposed to be a gigabyte network. This is just across two computers on my home lan, both with gigabyte adapters and they connect thru a gigabyte switch. Or I hope they are. My setup looks like this in brief (simplified). The transfer is between h4 and h5 (windows XP, windows 7) You'll note there is 10/100 router between the whole lan and the internet. Both of the subject machines are set to the 10/100 router as default route. The Gigabyte switch has no address. internet | | | (netgear router is lan `default route' = 10/100* NETGEAR ROUTER (inside address 192.168.0.20) | | | | | | (192.168.0.5) h1 | h3 (192.168.0.7) | | gigabyte switch || || (192.168.0.9) h4 h5 (192.168.0.17) So I guess I worked another whole subject into this but really I would like to know how to make the conversion mentioned. But also if I should be expecting h4 h5 to be able to use GigaByte transfer speeds.

[gentoo-user] pmount question
G'day, My USB subsystem is working much better now (than it was this weekend). /etc/fstab had a reference to /dev/hdb which no my current kernel no longer supports. Removing this has improved flash drive mounting a whole lot! I've also modified /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules to use pmount device label rather than mount -a. This is mounting flash drives in /media as desired: root@osage media # ls -l total 32 drwx-- 19 root plugdev 16384 Dec 31 1969 PNY drwx-- 3 root plugdev 16384 Dec 31 1969 SD_2G However (as can be seen above) the permissions are 700, which makes the drives unusable by members of the plugdev group. Alternatively, I can use pmount -u 007 device label to provide full access to the plugdev group. This seems awkward and inelegant. What's the right way to use pmount and set permissions?

So how does one turn that notation into megabytes? That notation is in megabits per second, or Mb/s or Mbps. Bits are shown as lowercase b and bytes are shown as uppercase B.
