1 Hi people, i have been having a problem with the sound and i swear i
2 have run out of ideas!!!, even the forum didn't help, i have an audigy
3 2(bulk version) and just can't record anything, though i can hear my
4 microphone in the speakers(weird, but means cable is ok and microphone
5 is ok, also because if i restard in windows it works), i tryed using
6 krec/audacity i even tryed to enable full sound hardware duplex in kde
7 3.2 so that krec might work and it didn't :(, now using 3.3 without
8 arts...
9 then i thought maybe it was cose of the old kernel, so i got the latest
10 at the moment Linux linuxoid 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 #6 SMP Sun Oct 3 20:13:24
11 UTC 2004 i686 Intel(R)Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
12 and used a howto from the gentoo forums to upgrade to the latest ALSA by
13 patching the kernel...and still i can not record, i posted stuff on
14 forum and no help there either, i'm using emu10k1 and i've noticed LOTS
15 of people have been having the same problem :'(
16 i have tryed both with emu10k1 as module and as built in, now i've left
17 it as a module
18 i then recompiled with sound support everything as modules and nothing
19 i do NOT have oss enabled in kernel, and have only alsa enabled with the
20 driver and

105 i have tryed all the mixers in the portage, and with none i can set XXX
106 as the recording source, using alsamixer i press space and nothing
107 happens after that when i look at amixer's output, and i also can't
108 UNcapture some levels with amixer no matter what option i give it, it
109 tells me unknow option, though it can set capture, so anyone has any
110 idea WTF is wrong ? i mean come on 2 months and no recording, it's only
111 this and games making me keep on rebooting in windows :/
