Hi 

I have been having problems recording audio on my laptop. Need help from this 
list...

My laptop has a Intel HDA audio chip (module: snd_hda_intel.ko ) . I have been 
trying to record audio fed via the aux input and mic without much success. 
The recorded wave is blank (or nothing is recorded)

The audio playback works fine, I am sure my mixer settings are fine, since I 
can hear the aux-input sound on the headphone output on the laptop. 

BTW, I tried recording on WinXP on the same machine, works fine, except that 
the stupid Microsoft application stops after 60sec (sound recorder in 
Accessories), so my hardware and connections etc are definitely OK.

I have tried audacity, krec, krecord, sound-recorder and vsound without any 
success.

I noticed that /dev/dsp and /dev/audio are probably not the right devices to 
capture audio from since recording from these does not results in a blank wav 
file (no audio)

So, my question is, what is the right device to record from? I scanned /dev/ 
and found the following devices, so somehow, audio goes through devices 
in /dev/snd/* but /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c (the "capture" device) does not work.

Can anyone familiar with Linux Audio help?
