Heya.

I have 2 sound cards, a build in C-Media PCI (card 1) and a Create SBLive! card (card 0).

My speakers are connected to my SBLive card, and I use it to play all sound on the pc. Now I recently installed TeamSpeak, and I wanted to use my other card to hook my headset on, and handle all input/output for TeamSpeak.

I set up everything correctly, gave TeamSpeak the right device /dev/dsp1 for the C-Media card, and it played sounds through it fine. I could hear them on my headset. My mic, however, I could not get to work. Using amixer, I set the "Mic-In Mode" to "Mic-In" as opposed to "Center/LFE". I unmuted "Mic Boost", and set the Mic capture volume to 100%.

However, when I tried to enable capturing on the "Mic" channel, it failed without an error message, and I'm pretty lost now. An example of what happened. First I get the values of the "Mic" channel, then I try to enable capturing, to no avail.
Code:
frank@zoidberg pts/3 % amixer -c 1 get "Mic"
Simple mixer control 'Mic',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined cvolume pswitch pswitch-joined cswitch cswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Capture channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Capture 0 - 7
  Mono: Playback 22 [71%] [on] Capture 7 [100%] [off]

frank@zoidberg pts/3 % amixer -c 1 set "Mic" capture unmute
Simple mixer control 'Mic',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined cvolume pswitch pswitch-joined cswitch cswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Capture channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Capture 0 - 7
  Mono: Playback 22 [71%] [on] Capture 7 [100%] [off]


Any ideas?

Ugh, my own fault. The correct command would be:
Code:
amixer -c 1 sset 'Mic',0 capture cap


Should've Read The Fine Manual. :)
