Hmmmm.... my hopes rose briefly when I started reading this thread. I 
wasted a couple of days a few months ago, trying to figure out how to 
record sound. Without success. For a few brief moments, I thought that 
Lyvim's excellently detailed posts would lead me to success. But...

I don't see anything even with it :-(

All right, so I cheated. I just used "test.wav" because I don't want to try 
to use ogg until I have actually got this thing to work. 

Sox just sits there, not complaining, but not producing an output file 
either :-(

This pretty much matches my experience of a few months ago. At that time I 
tried a bunch of different programs that were supposed to be able to record 
sound. They produced either nothing at all or an empty file. But I can hear 
sound from realplayer, mp3s, CDs, etc. just fine.

Any advice as to where to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated.

FWIW, kmix says that the device is "ICE1232". It would be especially 
helpful if someone else has succeeded in getting this device to record 
sound. The computer has a K7T Turbo-R mobo (the computer came from 
affordablecomputers.com)
