 |
|
I am using:
alsa
arts
KDE 3.3.2
gentoo-2.6.11-r4
AC'97 Chipset
I am trying to setup recording
I have been using krec
The problem is that the mic outputs to the speakers rather than recording something

Is your mic set up as the capture device in alsamixer? Some cards make you toggle it on or off to get it to work.

Well, you can check by using the "amixer" command. It will show a line that contains the words "Capture [on]" if it's enabled. You might have to scroll through many lines of output in the process. If it's disabled, you can set it with amixer (and probably with alsamixer as well). KDE and Gnome's volume controls should also have access to these settings.
