Using audioctl and mixerctl I just experimented until I got settings that workied, then put them in a file sourced upon logon. Very simple hack.
I used: audioctl play.gain=255 mixerctl record.volume.mute=off mixerctl record.source=mic (uses mic line input- mic2 uses laptop mic) I am sure there are other things that could be tweeked as well, but the levels needed for the program I/O are perfect. Rob.
