Hello,
I used to be able to use my mic with Alsa, about 2 or 3 years ago, I
hadn't tried since, but the otherday I did and it didn't work. I have
reinstalled everything from scratch since (to go from unstable to
stable). I followed the guides/howtos on the Gentoo site, but no luck,
the mic won't work correctly. I also noticed that I used to have more
inputs/outputs to play with in alsamixer, but now all I have are Master,
PCM, CD, Mic, Mic Boos, IEC958, and IEC958P. I used to have for instance
Front Mic, that's the only one I explicitly remember. My front mic
doesn't work at all (this is a laptop, details later), and if I plug a
mic in the input, I can hear myself in the speakers, but none of the
apps can, I tried to use gnome's recorder program, wengophone, ekiga,
etc, no sound. Could anyone please help me? Here are the details :
Lenove/IBM Thinkpad T60p, gentoo-sources-2.6.22, alsa kernel module (I
tried to use the module in portage, but it wouldn't compile),
alsa-utils-1.0.14_rc2-r3.
I used this howto : http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_sound_mixer_aka_dmix
I didn't install media-libs/alsa-oss, since the howto in the gentoo docs
doesn't say to, I think it's used if I install the driver in portage and
not the kernel module (correct me if I'm wrong), the reast is the same.
lspci output : 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7
Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
I have this in my make.conf :
ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel"
ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty
extplug file hooks
iec958 ioplug ladspa
lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug
rate route share shm
softvol"
The sound works fine, I can listen to music and everything.
any ideas? Thanks!
Gabriel
