I can record a/v on an old SUSE distro
according to producer, some devices look like these:

RealProducer(R) Plus 11.1 Build number: 11.1.0.2648

Device 00: BT848A video ( *** UNKNOWN/GENE /dev/video0

Port 02: mic

Something like the above, except you'll be recording from "line" instead
"mic".

Of course, we can't see what you're seeing when you open alsamixer and
press F4 (depends on the card).

On my machine, there's toggling with the space bar and also with the arrow
keys ("mic" to "line").

Good luck.

alsamixer seems difficult to use
I press F4 and increase volume for capture
I still have no sucess with recording

I don't know how to "define a capture device" with alsamixer

It doesn't work as you have hoped
I'm afraid the first two lines of arecord -L indicate sth. wrong:

 null
 Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)

​
this should work with both mic and line-in...

$ ​arecord -D hw:1,0 file.wav​


​You have only one card, ie no usb webcam or else, so in this case ​

​D option is really not needed​

Yes, but I see nothing helpful in that output either for setting the
capture device for recording (mic, line-in, etc.):

Also install alsamixer(gui); may computers have 2 MIC inputs
(or even 2 sound cards) and the first one is selected by
default when the 2nd one is the right one.

To define a capture device I use alsamixer (F4).
