I don't have any problems as a normal user here. Make sure the permissions on the directory you are in allows "write" for this user. > > Also, the voice being recorded is really, really faint.

How do I go about increasing this volume, > can anyone please tell me? Using "alsamixer" I have a "Mic" volume control and a "Mic Boost" control. The "Mic" control is a slider that I can vary between 0 and 100, or mute with the "M" key. The "Mic Boost" is just a on/off toggle using the "M" key. With these I can control the volume from faint to loud. Regards, Mike Klinke
