Things have improved a bit in Edgy Beta, though I still don't have full functionality. I still had to change the default settings to get sound mixing to work seamlessly (like disabling ESD).
I can now record from my mic in sound-recorder and audacity. Under Dapper I couldn't even choose an input source in Audacity. In Edgy Beta I can choose 1 option in Audacity, "IGain". I don't know what that means, but I am able to use that setting in audacity to record through the mic. What I would really like to do but can't is record "system sounds", by that I mean if I'm playing a stream or a video from the internet, I'd like to be able to record the sound without having to use a cord going from the headphone jack to the mic jack. Right now that's the only way I can record such sounds. So in short, most basic functionality is there, but it's still not possible to record sound from anything but the mic. I'm attaching the output (most) of the commands I mentioned in my previous post. Let me know if I can be of more help. $ lspci | grep -i audio: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) $ lsmod | grep snd: snd_hda_intel 20116 4 snd_hda_codec 164608 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm_oss 47360 0 snd_pcm 84612 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss 19584 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_dummy 4996 0 snd_seq_oss 36480 0 snd_seq_midi 9984 0 snd_rawmidi 27264 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 8960 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 59120 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 25348 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 9868 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd 58372 18 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device soundcore 11232 1 snd snd_page_alloc 11400 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm $ cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel HDA Intel at 0xc0000000 irq 169 $ tail -2 /proc/asound/oss/sndstat Mixers: 0: Realtek ALC260 -- No audio capture--Intel ICH6 audio contr.
