This configuration works for me (not very intuitive - I'm

Thanks! I'll give it a try.
It works, thanks!
So in summary, with the Sound Blaster MP3+ USB I am able to:
Playback with phones out
Capture with mic in
Capture with line ins
with reasonable results for an inexpensive USB card. My S/N is
pretty bad right now, but I think need a decent preamp for my
miked stuff. I've not tried playback through line outs yet nor
optical I/O.
thanks to all who responded!

I've been using alsamixer, as well as other mixers (both alsa and
oss), but I've found no combination of settings that works for
the LINE-INs. The controls I see are:
# amixer scontrols ###
Simple mixer control 'PCM',0
Simple mixer control 'PCM Capture Source',0
Simple mixer control 'PCM',1
Simple mixer control 'Mic',0
Simple mixer control 'Auto Gain Control',0
Simple mixer control 'Speaker',0
Simple mixer control 'Speaker',1
##
I've tried every reasonable combination, but I still capture
nothing from those inputs. I've tried 'PCM Capture Source' in
each of the three settings ('Mic', 'Input 1' and 'Input 2'). I've
enabled capture for PCM and PCM 1. I've tried every combination
of CAPTUR settings and I've unmuted everything.
If someone would be kind enough to post an 'asound.state' file
that is known to enable LINE-IN input, I could at least rule out
that as being the problem.
thanks,
steve

[Alsa-user] Creative Sound Blaster MP3+ USB - Linein Capture
Hello, I've managed to get my Sound Blaster MP3+ USB functioning in part. Playback works nicely and I can capture from the mic input. But I've not been able to capture from the 'LINE-IN' inputs, which is primarily what I'm interested in doing (ooh, so close!). Is anyone doing this? I'm using the 1.0.3 modules and libs under 2.6.3 and Debian. I've tried the captures with both arecord and ecasound. I'm not sure what the most relevant diagnostics and config are, but to start: # modules stuff ## alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore options snd major=116 cards_limit=4 # alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio alias snd-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-slot-0 # #alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss #alias sound-service-1-1 snd-seq-oss #alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss #alias sound-service-1-8 snd-seq-oss #alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss # #alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio # #alias snd-slot-1 snd-card-1 #alias sound-slot-1 snd-slot-1 alias /dev/dsp* snd-pcm-oss ## # lsusb -v ### Bus 002 Device 003: ID 041e:3010 Creative Technology, Ltd Device Descriptor: bLength18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 1.10 bDeviceClass0 (Defined at Interface level) bDeviceSubClass 0 bDeviceProtocol 0 bMaxPacketSize064 idVendor 0x041e Creative Technology, Ltd idProduct 0x3010 bcdDevice1.00 iManufacturer 0 iProduct1 iSerial 0 bNumConfigurations 1 Configuration Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 2 wTotalLength 294 bNumInterfaces 3 bConfigurationValue 1 iConfiguration 0 bmAttributes 0x80 MaxPower 500mA Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType 4 bInterfaceNumber0 bAlternateSetting 0 bNumEndpoints 0 bInterfaceClass 1 Audio bInterfaceSubClass 1 Control Device bInterfaceProtocol 0 iInterface 0 AudioControl Interface Descriptor: bLength10 bDescriptorType36 bDescriptorSubtype 1 (HEADER) bcdADC 1.00 wTotalLength 169 bInCollection 2 baInterfaceNr( 0) 1 baInterfaceNr( 1) 2 AudioControl Interface Descriptor: bLength12 bDescriptorType36 bDescriptorSubtype 2 (INPUT_TERMINAL) bTerminalID 1 wTerminalType 0x0101 USB Streaming bAssocTerminal 0 bNrChannels 2 wChannelConfig 0x0003 Left Front (L) Right Front (R) iChannelNames 0 iTerminal 0 AudioControl Interface Descriptor: bLength12 bDescriptorType36 bDescriptorSubtype 2 (INPUT_TERMINAL) bTerminalID 2 wTerminalType 0x0201 Microphone bAssocTerminal 0 bNrChannels 2 wChannelConfig 0x0003 Left Front (L) Right Front (R) iChannelNames 0 iTerminal 0 AudioControl Interface Descriptor: bLength12 bDescriptorType36 bDescriptorSubtype 2 (INPUT_TERMINAL) bTerminalID 3 wTerminalType 0x0603 Line Connector bAssocTerminal 0 bNrChannels 2 wChannelConfig 0x0003 Left Front (L) Right Front (R) iChannelNames 0 iTerminal 0 AudioControl Interface Descriptor: bLength12 bDescriptorType36 bDescriptorSubtype 2 (INPUT_TERMINAL) bTerminalID 4 wTerminalType 0x0605 SPDIF interface bAssocTerminal 0 bNrChannels 2 wChannelConfig 0x0003 Left Front (L) Right Front (R) iChannelNames 0 iTerminal 0 AudioControl Interface Descriptor: bLength 9 bDescriptorType36 bDescriptorSubtype 3 (OUTPUT_TERMINAL) bTerminalID 5 wTerminalType 0x0605 SPDIF interface bAssocTerminal 0
