More teeth grittin' sound issues, which are a plenty with good ol' Linux!
I bought a cheap microphone, to record my voice on a wav file. I opened gnome-sound-recorder (of the gnome-media package), and, under "Record from input:", I selected "microphone". However, it kept switching to "AC97", and not recording anything (I began feeling like the woman in Demon Seed, trying to instruct the computer to do something, only to have it refuse, and want its own way). I opened the volume control, and unmuted the microphone, and unmuted the capture. But, it just kept remuting the microphone, and remuting the capture, and the sound-recorder kept switching back to AC97 (Demon Seed....it's acting on its own now....getting ready to screw me good).
Eventually, I did manage to record my voice (I'm still not sure how I did this,
though.) I then tried to play it back, but got feedback. So, I muted the
microphone, and muted the capture.....yet, still, I got feedback when playing
the recording back (Demon Seed..... my computer is getting ready to screw me, I
just know it).
I'm anticipating that an odd mutation of my own DNA, and my computer, will
eventually see the sun upon its face. However, I'm HOPING that I can simply
figure out how to record, and subsequently play back my voice, without all this
fuss. So, if anyone out there can assist me in asserting my human dominance
over my computer, I would appreciate it. I'm running Etch, on an old Pentium
III.

Try audacity.

PS: Using a microphone connected with the mic socket of a computer's
sound card is not going to give you a good quality sound. For that you
need a mic and a pre-amp that is connected to the line-in of the sound card.
