Look at the file closer (maybe even dump it with "od" or such ): is it absolute silence (always zero) or is it 0+-1? If it's always zero, it's probably the soundcard, otherwise probably the input source (cable,...). Don't quote me on that, though. -- DoubleF If a situation requires undivided attention, it will occur simultaneously with a compelling distraction. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I haven't got a single useful message out of the programs I used. Could this be a hardware problem (I'm not a hardware expert)? Are there any diagnostic tools?

I set the recording level to > 75:75 and the recording source to "Line" (I'm not sure this is correct) This depends on what you are actually tring to record. If you are recording from a microphone, it should be "mic",if you are recording from line input - "line". -- DoubleF When outrageous expenditures are divided finely enough the public will not have enough stake in any one expenditure to squelch it. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Problems with audio recording
Probably a stupid question: I need to record sound and it just won't work. I set the recording level to 75:75 and the recording source to "Line" (I'm not sure this is correct), and I tried sox, cat /dev/dsp > file, aurecord and numerous graphical recording utilities. I don't get any error messages, I just get silence. I have already searched the mailing list archives and documentation, but nothing helped.
