Could not record any sound from mic using audacity in FC4
Hi,
I'm trying to use Skype in my machine and could not make my "mic" work. I installed audacity to help in troubleshooting but it doesn't work either. I can listen my voice on phone, so I suppose hardware and mixer are both well configured, but no sound is capturesd at all, neither in audacity nor in Skype. My configuration is: Fedora Core 4 SoundBlaster Live 5.1 The packages I think are related with this isssue are: alsa-lib-1.0.9rf-2.FC4 alsa-utils-1.0.9rf-2.FC4 audacity-1.2.3-5 Below I list the output from "amixer", if it could help anyway. Thanks for any help. ---- output from amixer ------ Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Front Left: Playback 23 [74%] [on] Front Right: Playback 23 [74%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Headphone LFE',1 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Mono: Playback [off] Simple mixer control 'Headphone',1 Capabilities: pvolume Playback channels: Front Left -
