Here are the rsults of my sleuthing efforts thus far: I have found that my PCM device shows up in dmesg as: pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1373-8> port 0xd400-0xd43f irq 11 at device 11.0 on pci0 pcm0: <Cirrus Logic CS4297A AC97 Codec>
Crystal 4237, 4236, 4232, 4231 is what is listed as suppoted in the handbook. The first one, AudioPCI ES1373-8, I don't know why it's there because that was the external sound card I tried, but it looks like it is not supported. The second one is the onboard. I made sure to turn off the use of oonboard audio in the BIOS while I tested the card, and I turned it back on and physically removed the card from the computer to return control to the onboard audio chip. primus# mixer recsrc Recording source: mic This indicates a hardware problem? I don't understand. As best I can see, the indication is that my particular hardware is not fully supported, unless Cirrus Logic CS4297A AC97 Codec isn't the sound chip, or it isn't a Crystal chip... I have tested it under Windows and it works with Audacity there, but Windows is giving me fits with refusing to log out, program lockups, etc. I have also tried replacing the headset and boom mic I am using, and the results are identical. KMIX shows that the mic is recording, and is not muted. The on-headset mute is disabled as well. Is my "not fully supported hardware" conclusion reasonable? Thanks to everyone who's been providing suggestions and pointers! Shannon __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
