Benno Well, it could be, I think I solved it, I muted the microphone, the digital capture, and I don't touch Gnome sound recorder anymore :-) I basically just left Capture unmuted and toggles the audio capture from it, if I mute Digital it just unmutes it'self at some point, but the audio capture from it stays toggled off. I can't hear myself in the speakers (since I muted the microphone, I didn't want to have echoes and such) but Ekiga can hear me speaking, from either the front internal mic or an external mic. They can't be controlled independently though. If someone wants any of my config files, just ask and I'll send them. My setup is not optimal, but at least it sort of works. Thanks Benno for your time and links, I know this issue isn't really solved. Gabriel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Lenove/IBM Thinkpad T60p, Hmm... You had alsa working on this laptop two or three years ago? Benno Ok, I checked the bugs, I'm not really sure they help me much, but I did use the alsa-driver instead of the in-kernel stuff. I have my front mic (internal) sort-of working, it isn't called that, it's mixed with the external mic. Sound now comes out of both, but no apps seam to be able to use it. I noticed with gnome's sound recorder that it won't keep my input choice, it always sets it to something else, when wanting to see to what is was set right now, gnome recorder gave me this error msg when I ran it : Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings. This was due to my .asoundrc, copied from the howto on the gentoo-wiki, once removed gnome record works again, when I try to record it always want's tu use digital. I did notice something, I had the gnome volume control open also and when I recorded it toggles the audio capture from Capture, if I untoggle it while I'm recording, it works, the mic's input is recorded. I tried playing with it, muting one, then the other, toggleing one, then the other, the only way I get anything to record is to use the digital as the recording source, and toggle capture once it's started to record.

Ok, I'll try this and keep the list up to date on my advancements. Lenove/IBM Thinkpad T60p, Hmm... You had alsa working on this laptop two or three years ago? no, you're right about that, a year ago then (I think), when it came out, feels like more though :-), but I had it working and the front mic was also there.
