Hi gang, any ideas why my microphone wouldn't be working in linux. It's set as the recording device, but isn't recording. My sound card uses the maestro3 module (ES1988 Allegro-1 card). I'm doing a search, but was wondering if any of you have had this problem. Wes
OK, since nobody is answering you, I'll take a stab at it. Yes, I have the same problem. Can't record from the microphone or from the stereo, which is plugged into the computer. Doesn't work with SuSE 7.2 on a fast computer with the onboard soundcard, and it didn't work with Redhat 7.0 on a slow computer with my Ensonic sound card, either. I can record from CD at least three ways without any problem. And I can record from my stereo or from the microphone if I use a common proprietary operating system that's four years old. I suspect the problem is in the options section of /etc/modules.conf, but I've never pursued it, and I don't know what any of those options mean. There's a mailing list for the ALSA project, and I've gotten good help from them in the past. They might know. I'll show you my modules.conf if you'll show me yours. Greg Wesley Allen wrote:

Yeah, Come to think of it, no computer I've ever used with Linux has had the microphone working. I'll have to try the alsa list...thanks! Wes On Thursday 31 October 2002 2:06 pm, Gregory Avedissian wrote:

I've seen it working on other computers, a friend of mine at BU was using on an AI speech recognition project. They were just opening /dev/dsp and reading from it. Can't you find something on google to solve the issue? On Thu, 31 Oct 2002, Wes Allen wrote:

cat /dev/dsp this is raw sound data there are docs out there on how to process it This usually works to record then play back your data cat /dev/dsp > /tmp/sound.dat cat /tmp/sound.dat >> /dev/dsp I'm sure there is a doc out there on the format of this data.
