How to debug microphone?
hi, I'd like to use my microphone, but when I use gnome-sound-recorder, and - select Record from input: Front Mic it doesn't record anything. - select Record from input: Line In and attach a headset to the 3.5mm mic input (Laptop) it doesn't record anything. Audio play works fine in all applications. I am running Debian Lenny. How can I debug this? Thanks! -- Felix Natter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The steps I would recommend are as follows. 1) Make sure with alsamixer that mics are not muted. 2) Start arecord with vumeter enabled, that is, arecord -V /tmp/foo.wav and see if vumeter changes. 3) On failure, go to (1).
