Re: aucat problems
I found this http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2010-12/0057.html but aucat seemed to have changed, at least for me, I can't follow the explanation. I am running a Thinkpad x220i and I am pretty sure that my microphone is supported but I tried a lot of different settings with mixerctl, I am not 'there' yet.. greetings.

I also tried aucat -c 0:1 -o 1.wav -c 2:3 -o 2.wav -c 4:5 -o 3.wav For this to work, you've to restart sndiod with the following args -C 0:5 -c 0:3. But according to mixerctl, all 3 ADCs get their signal from mic2 so all 3 files would have the same content. but nothing for all three files. could you post the output of mixerctl -v ? here is my mixerctl -v output: First, try to crank all input gains: mixerctl record.volume=255 record.adc-0:1_source=mic2 [ sel sel2 mic2 mix ] record.adc-2:3_source=mic2 [ sel sel2 mic2 mix ] record.adc-4:5_source=mic2 [ sel sel2 mic2 mix ] inputs.sel_source=mic [ mic ] If it doesn't work, try to use the other mic: mixerctl record.adc-0:1_source=sel mixerctl record.adc-2:3_source=sel mixerctl record.adc-4:5_source=sel

I did that, but when I do the

Re: aucat problems
I am not sure which settings must be changed to record with the internal
microphone. When i start aucat, I can't hear anything.
I've had the same trouble figuring out which set of settings control
the selection of the internal and external microphone on my laptop.
Wild guess it might be related to the way settings interact with
each other, namely record, input select, ADC source, mix source etc.
Probably these map 1:1 to the hardware features of the respective audio
device but to me as a user that's a great riddle as well and no mixer
program solved it for me yet (though I've not checked on that for a
while).
Here is my audio device and mixer settings if you would like to compare
with the ones you try with:
OpenBSD 5.8 GENERIC.MP#1062 i386
azalia0 at pci0 dev 27 function 0 Intel 82801GB HD Audio rev 0x02: msi

inputs.mix_mic2=0,0
inputs.mix_beep=120,120
inputs.mix2_source=dac-0:1,mix { dac-0:1 mix }
inputs.mix3_source=dac-2:3,mix { dac-2:3 mix }

inputs.mic2=85,85
outputs.mic2_dir=input-vr80 [ none output input input-vr0 input-vr50
input-vr80 input-vr100 ]
record.adc-2:3_source=mic [ mic2 beep mic mix ]
record.adc-0:1_source=mic2,beep,mix { mic2 beep mix }
outputs.hp_sense=plugged [ unplugged plugged ]
outputs.mic2_sense=plugged [ unplugged plugged ]
outputs.spkr_muters=mic2 { hp mic2 }
outputs.master=255,255
outputs.master.mute=off [ off on ]
outputs.master.slaves=dac-0:1,dac-2:3,spkr,hp { dac-0:1 dac-2:3 spkr hp mic2 }
record.volume=125,125
record.volume.mute=off [ off on ]
record.volume.slaves=adc-0:1,adc-2:3 { adc-0:1 adc-2:3 mic2 }
I would as well appreciate if somebody could tip which set of options
would define internal and then external microphone selection.
