Thanks that was helpful. The mixer seems werid though. I tested first with the alsamixer and the only way I can get the line-in in to record is to put the "mix" channel into capture mode. However, doing that mixes all the record sources together so I get the orginal sound that is played through the output on the "Wave" channel recorded as well. If I don't select the "mix" channel for capture I still get the "wave" channel in the record but I don't get the line-in channel anymore.
Thanks again for your help at least it set me in the right direction for things to look for. -richie Marc 'BlackJack' Rintsch wrote: > In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, rjm wrote: > > > [recording the output] > > > > Any ideas?
