I've been experimenting with arecord, with no success at all. I'm using the 2.6.18-mactel kernel, with current patches from svn, including
linux/sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c 2006-07-23 18:03:25.000000000 +0200 Playback works fine with every client I've tried, including aplay, mpg321, timidity, and the various gnome sound clients. The internal speakers, external speakers/headphones all behave properly (analog out only, digital out not tested). However, neither the builtin microphone nor the line in seem to record anything, using either arecord or gnome-sound-recorder. My amixer settings are: Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 127 Mono: Front Left: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Front Right: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Capabilities: pvolume Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 255 Mono: Front Left: Playback 131 [51%] Front Right: Playback 131 [51%] Simple mixer control 'Front',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 127 Mono: Front Left: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Front Right: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Surround',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 127 Mono: Front Left: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Front Right: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Center',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 127 Mono: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'LFE',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 127 Mono: Playback 127 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Line In as Output',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Mono: Playback [off] Simple mixer control 'Mic as Output',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Mono: Playback [off] Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Mono: Playback [off] Simple mixer control 'Capture',0 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 14 Front Left: Capture 14 [100%] [on] Front Right: Capture 14 [100%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Input Source',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'Mic' 'Line' Item0: 'Mic' Simple mixer control 'Mux',0 Capabilities: cvolume Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 4 Front Left: Capture 4 [100%] Front Right: Capture 4 [100%] The arecord command I'm trying is: arecord -vv -d 10 -f cd -t wav test.wav This runs fine, but the record level stays at zero.
