It turns out that the thing is connected up, but is incredibly muted. I've really cranked up igain: $ aumix -q vol 100, 100, P pcm 71, 71 speaker 0, 0 line 0, 0, P mic 90, 90, R cd 0, 0, P igain 80, 80 line1 0, 0, P dig1 100, 100 phin 0, 0, P phout 0, 0, P video 0, 0, P and even so if I literally scream into it then the signal is *just* registered by krec. Has anyone got any insights to share? Angus
