Do you have a mixer? First use kmix, xmix, aumix, etc., to set the input levels of the various sliders. In kmix, they're under the Input tab, look for a microphone or line in. Make sure of course that the cables are plugged in to the right places on the sound card. If you've installed 'sox' then you should have a 'rec' and a 'play'. These are probably the easiest ones to use for simple recording of sound files through the sound card. If you 'rec 44100 somefile.wav' on the command line you end up with a sample file of (hopefully) sound. Since it's a command line tool you can just reinvoke it as needed while you adjust settings. What I'd try is plugging a male stereo 1/8" jack (one has both male endings) and have one in the out jack of a walkman or similar, and another in the line in jack on the sound card, tune to a radio station & try a couple of test recordings. Once you've established that you are actually getting a signal you can try other more sophisticated audio creation or editing tools. If you want to do editing, I recommend highly "audacity". Audacity should be able to record live & show you the signals in real time. At least it used to, but I haven't tried it for that in a while. > Travis Crook -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
