Hi,

I used your configuration and now I got a lot of new options than
before.
I attached my gnome-mixer screenshots.

Hmmm, maybe it is a PEBCAK, but I still cannot record my voice via
microphone :)

It is funny, but I only have 2 pieces jacks, one for audio out and one
for microphone in.
This laptop is a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 1505
I cannot see any built-in microphone.
And I cannot imagine, how can I get 6 channel via 4 channel (2 jacks).

So, my experiences:
In the oss settings, I cannot decrease the 'Volume'. It is always 100%,
I cannot move the slider.
PCM-2 is the same. Cannot decrease its value.
In-gain reflects to my actions, but I do not hear any changes.

In oss record settings, Microphone settings effects to the loudness of
my microphone. I can hear my voice, I can change its volume, mute/unmute
etc. Via alsa's microphone settings too.
Line-in (oss): if I move the slider to higher value, I can hear some
crackling while I move the slider. If I turn on the record on this
line-in, it screws the playback (audaciaous), but turning off stops this
strange thing.


Alsa volume control, playback:
PCM controls the volume of audacious :)
'Vonalbemenet' is line-in, the same as in oss, except, this does not
screw the playback.
Microphon controls, mute/unmute the volume of mic.
On the record tab, the Capture: nothing important.

Switches: boys, this is mysterious for me. I can recognise letters,
words, but the meanings......... :)
There are some Mic switches, surround, front, caller-id,
off-hook.............
'Dunno.

Channel mode: 2ch/6ch
If I switch to 6ch, microphone turns to silent. I think it is normal. I
never use more than two speakers :)

One thing, vumeter does not show anything now, but before it shows me
the mic level, I saw my voice loudness in it.

About audiacous:
When I use esound as output, everything working well: I can control the
volume.
If I change to alsa output, I cannot control the volume via
gnome-volume-control or via audiacous (what a silly name :) volume
control: the volume is 100%.

So, my opinion, this sound card is a shEEt (I mean, this one in my
laptop :)
The other possibility is that, I am really stupid, but I beleive the
previous theory.

So, I must learn a lot, if I would like to use this "thing".

Maybe somebody can use the following information.
