I found out cards like BlueCherry set the format wrong because of a limitation in Alsa. The audio input is G723 but the format is set as 8khz PCM - maybe something like this is happening here?
Anyone able to get usable audio out of a CX88 or CX23881 card? I'm getting something, but it sounds like pink noise just like out of the BlueCherry card.
