Can anyone offer any advice on how to get my microphone working on a
Fedoda Core 3 machine with a SiS SI7012 sound card? Sound output is fine,
but I have no input at all.
The microphone is a cheapo telephony headset plugged into the single
(pink if that matters!) mic port. Everything works well if I reboot the
machine under Windows.
I'm using the KDE frontend to FC3 rather than the Gnome equivalent.
krec records as expected from the out_soundcard.
I've fired up kmix and "unmuted" it. Volume level is "high".
aRts is in full-duplex mode.
However, when I attempt to record to krec, the VU-meter remains
obstinately unresponsive.
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?

I have no exertise on this, but the fact that you are hearing a tiny
amount of sound doesn't not ncessarily mean that it is working, coould
be just some sound feeding through the cicuittry. I would suggest a
graphical mixer (Kmix) and playing in the levels/switches there.
