Quote (ke4nt1 @ July 01 2005,18:02) | I have instances here where certain soundcards have some finicky settings, ports, or are just stubborn.
What soundcard or chipset are you working with? I find that the type of soundcard makes a big difference to the audio response and performance of Linux/DSL ..

Ah, that may be my whole problem; my current main PC is a cheap but fast Compaq Presario S5000NX with an onboard soundcard.

I'd prefer a desktop for audio editing, but maybe I'll have more luck recording files on my laptop. I know what you mean about picky soundcards, since my best crappy OEM machine has a Sound Blaster Live! WDM card which refuses to do anything with any Debian-Based distro even with the ALSA drivers. It's running Slackware until I can track down a new sound card, but I'm having even more problems with audio editing over there than I am on my DSL box, where at least I'm making SOME progress thanks to Mikshaw.
I haven't found the input volume on wmix yet; I'm running DSL 1.0.1 until I break it but I will be putting whatever's freshest on the lappy.
*edit; it's a WDM series, not a WMD series....whatever....
