 Hey guys,

 I have a mic plugged into my sound card.  It worked late last night but
 not today.  When I try to select the mic using System/Preferences/Sound
 I'm provided with several options to choose from.

 On the Hardware tab I choose the Internal Audio device and set it to
 Analog Stereo Duplex.

 On the Input tab I choose Internal Audio Analog Stereo there are two
 Analog Microphone Inputs, 1 and 2, to choose from.  Each of those inputs
 has Microphone 1 and 2 to choose from.

 When I try to record from the mic in Audacity I get a flat signal if I
 choose Input 1 no matter which Microphone, 1 or 2, I choose.

 If I choose Input 2, no matter which Microphone I choose, the wave form
 freezes until I return the selection to Input 1.

 alsamixer -c0 does not indicate any input settings being muted.  In fact
 its indications change in response to changes in Sound Preferences and

 I tested the mic by plugging it into my wife's XP machine.  The mic
 works fine but the XP machine doesn't.

 Very frustrated.  Anyone have any idea what else I can check?


Alright, I guess I asked the wrong question.  Is there a way to probe 
the sound card so that I can figure out where in the software chain the 
problem is?  I suspect an issue with some library file somewhere but I 
don't know how to tell what library I hosed up.
