Hello, I've had a problem that drove me nuts for a couple of weeks. The microphone works fine but recording sound had an issue. The problem I faced was that when I recorded (using KRecord) the sound was too low and far and unclear. For a couple of weeks, I could not get my hand on the "move" or "step" that would fix it. However, every now and then I got it working. But when I reboot, or start a new session it goes back to the old unclear and low sound. What drove me nuts was the fact that every time I got it working, it was after a different series of steps than the last time. So for a while I was just in a trial and error period. Last week I finally figured out the specific "move" or "step", which fixes the problem. What I needed to do, is open Kmix, and go to the "Switches" tab and then just shuffle the three "Input Source" fields that I have. After I shuffle them, I bring them back to the same setup of "Mic", "Front Mic", "Line". Then it works. Note that before I did the shuffling, the three fields were in that same exact order! That's as far as I got trying to debug this issue. Has anybody faced this? I would like to know, if anybody has had this, before I dig deeper into the problem to find out what actually changes when I start a new session (and what happens when I do this shuffling). My sound card is: Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) I'm using alsa driver: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.12rc1. OS: openSUSE 10.2. CPU: Intel core 2 duo. 64-bit. Regards, Majdi Jaqaman __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
