I'm trying to determine where the problem is, if there is one. Software - According to your amixer conf file, the mic input is being captured at its maximum. Hardware - Microphone & Sound Card. - There could potentially be a problem here. When you record, can you monitor the mic input in alsamixer such that you can watch some gui mic volume input bar respond to your voice? Just to see if the meter is only moving a lil' bit or if it's spiking. Not very scientific, but something I would check. Maybe pick up another microphone from Best Buy or Walmart where you could return it after testing it? My laptop has a built-in microphone that I've used for VOIP calls and it worked just fine. I don't know if you have a desktop pc or a laptop, but maybe you could do some testing on a different computer or on a laptop w. a built-in microphone? I'm pretty well out of ideas at this point. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
