hi I'm using alsa with mandrake 8.1 and I'm trying to make the recording work. xmms through oss is working fine and I may manipilate the mixer gauges using gmix or alsamixer.
It is just when I try to record using grecord or arecord -w, it gives me a 44 byte long file (corresponding to a .wav header). Through the speakers I can hear (and amplify or mute) the input from the microphone, but I don't seem to be able to record it. I have included what appeared to be all the sound related entries. The entries in /var/log/message puzzles me. pnpdump report that I have a CS4237B sound card which correspond to what gmix/alsamixer reports. Any suggestions? mo --- some file content ------------- [morten@murray morten]$ less /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.5.11.
