I've followed these instructions and nothing comes out of standard output with arecord (neither timemachine+jack, gnome-sound-recorder, nor audacity+OSS emulation and portaudio-18.1). I've attached the output of amixer so you can make sure I have done nothing stupid there.

[Alsa-user] linux-2.6.18, alsa-1.0.13, and ALi M5455
I have an ALi M5455 audio controller and I'm running vanilla linux-2.6.18 on gentoo. Unfortunately this card doesn't work completely using the snd_intel8x0 driver. The difficulty I'm having is that I cannot record any sound from a microphone although I can hear the microphone through the card's output(s). I've also built kernel support for the snd_ali5451 driver hoping that it would provide better support, but alsaconf doesn't recognize it. I've even tried # find /etc/ -type f | xargs sed -i -e "s/intel8x0/ali5451/g" # modules-update # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart which failed. When will a driver be available for this card? Is there something I can do to help create one? Justin - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

If you did update Ubuntu this should be filed in the Ubuntu bug tracker. Lee - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[Alsa-user] Problems with Creative SoundBlaster Extigy in Ubuntu (Dapper Drake)
Hello, suddenly (for 4 days now) my external soundcard isn't working anymore - I used it now for more than one year under Ubuntu and I don't know what to do. I hope somebody can help me. The soundcard worked out of the box with Ubuntu Dapper Drake and I didn't change anything... the snd_usb_audio module is loaded, "cat /proc/asound/cards" says 0 [I82801DBICH4 ]: ICH4 - Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with AD1981B at 0xa020, irq 10 1 [Extigy ]: USB-Audio - Sound Blaster Extigy Creative Technology Ltd. Sound Blaster Extigy at usb-:00:1d.0-2, full speed In Gnome control-center I can choose the Extigy as preferred sound card and there is no error message or something... Everything seems fine but there is no sound at all. Until now the soundcard was working fine - OK, in the beginning of each and every sound there was a strange cracking noise... But I got used to that. I tested the soundcard in Window$ and there it workes... I suppose my problem has something to do with some Ubuntu-Update because I didn't do anything else in the past days. I would really appreciate your help. Best regards, Stefan. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
