Regards, Marco -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Thanks y lot Marco ! ...currently I am fighting the hiss distorted sound, which results when the capture is set on on the line in channel by any volume of capture itsself. My sound card is an onboard AC97 device. lspci tells me: Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) The distortion only happens, when there is an original sound also...so it has nothing to do with the cableing. Sound without capturing is clear and fine, though. I currently have no clue, what there is going on and how to fix that... Keep hacking! mcc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
