Howdy, I'm having trouble configuring my sound card so as to be able to record voice as well as talk on Skype.
Whenever I try recording my voice using arecord, or do a Skype test call, the audio output I get is static and squeaky. I went through the instructions described here, http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ALSA, and set things up where applicable as best as I could tell. Here's the details of my current setup: Sound card: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd Device a002 Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel ALSA packages installed: media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.27.2 media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.0.27-r1 media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.10.36 media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.27.2 cat .asoundrc defaults.pcm.!card Intel defaults.pcm.!device 0 What else am I missing here? Thanks.
