Just an idea - because I recently Was on a Windoze box with an Audigy 2 sound card, worked like a dream. had a similar problem with a partially defective microphone. :-) I'm using the builtin C-Media sound card (for some reason FreeBSD doesn't want to detect my SB Audigy even with the km loaded for it) The mic is a Creative boom mic (I call them boom mics, just your standard desktop fair). Audacity (and Skype) both picked up the mic very, very well using mic as rec source on my parents Windoze box (XP SP3). I'd like to keep everything on here (though the latest version of Audacity (1.3.x) supports flac output while what's in ports (1.2.4b4. I updated ports like two days ago) doesn't so I just might use their computer if I can't get my mic working here). -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

Mixer Settings For Audacity
OK, I've read the mixer man page, the mic is set as recording source, yet even with mic playback and (apparent) sensitivity to max, I barely get anything recorded using Audacity. Am I missing something? Do I need to use mixer -s =rec mic (I set it with mixer -S =rec, though it seems either one does the same thing). Mixer vol is currently set to 100:100 Mixer bass is currently set to 100:100 Mixer treble is currently set to 100:100 Mixer synthis currently set to 100:100 Mixer pcm is currently set to 100:100 Mixer speaker is currently set to 100:100 Mixer line is currently set to 100:100 Mixer mic is currently set to 100:100 Mixer cd is currently set to 100:100 Mixer igainis currently set to 100:100 Mixer ogainis currently set to 100:100 Mixer monitor is currently set to 100:100 Recording source: mic The above is my playback options for the mixer. I'd like to adjust the sensitivity for the mic when recording and not just for playback (ideally I'd like playback to be zero - or as close to it as possible - and recording be at max). I've found a few posts on the subject[0][1] but nothing really dealing with my problem (the closest they get is Audacity, but both are written from a Windoze POV), though I did get some good ideas from the first one (setting up a project with some default tags and the like). I'll record, with the mic at 100% for playback, a sample and toss it up on my website[2] in wav format so you folks can hear what I'm dealing with. Any suggestions would be appreciated (I'm sure it's something rather obvious I'm missing, it usually is (I've got my snakebite kit ready, jic)). The recording was made with the mic right in front of the mouth, with me talking at normal volume (which is pretty loud according to most folks I know) and playback sensitivity at max. The audio was recorded at 44100Hz, 32-bit floating point and straight-exported as a wav. Reported size (by web server) is 1.5MB (YMMV).
