If not, then there's something very amiss, cause sox usually tells you what is going on; I've never seen it unable to do anything at all before. At the very least you should be getting an empty wav file. BTW, it's an uppercase V. A paste of your window here to email might be helpful. Also what sound drivers you are using (OSS, kernel, soundforge, etc) as well as your Mandrake version. > > After you've recorded for a while, hit cntrl-c in the terminal window > > that you started sox in, and you'll get a command line.

If your /dev/dsp is producing sound then you should be able to record it; unless the device is being locked for some reason.
