Hi!
I don't know, how much inputs your card has and how they are controlled by
alsa. but I had a similar problem myself. Have you tried to mute the
microphone or at least disable its capture-switch. Then do you have something
like: input/output-gain (in alsamixer they would be very much to the right)?
If so make sure they're unmuted and properly set too. Beside that I have no
ideas.
To capture sound in 8bit-quality just try:
arecord -s 44100 -b 8 -t wav file.wav
One last idea: Maybe you have to set a device specification with the -d
option.
If it is available, try to use ecasound. It can be run from command-line
too. You could do:
ecasound -i /dev/dsp -o file.wav
At least you could see if input works at all. For testing different devices
with ecasound you can do:
ecasound -i alsa,x,y -o file.wav
where x and y are device and subdevice. You can get ecasound from
www.eca.cx/ecasound.
You can see all available devices with:
arecord -l
I hope that helps.
Kindest regards
Julien
