Hi all, I can't record from a mic (internal or external) on my laptop running Fedora Core 8 64bit, and alsa from standard repos as shown above: alsa-lib.x86_64 1.0.15-1.fc8 installed alsa-lib.i386 1.0.15-1.fc8 installed alsa-lib-devel.x86_64 1.0.15-1.fc8 installed alsa-tools.i386 1.0.12-4.fc7 installed alsa-tools.x86_64 1.0.12-4.fc7 installed alsa-utils.x86_64 1.0.15-1.fc8 installed alsa-utils.i386 1.0.15-1.fc8 installed alsamixergui.x86_64 0.9.0-0.3.rc1.fc8.2 installed bluez-utils-alsa.x86_64 3.20-6.fc8 installed As there seems there aren't solutions I would like to know if: Someone use the same laptop and have mic working well? There is a way to obtain the new alsa 1.0.16 working from repos (development) without a lot of changes, or is better to recompile from scratch ? Tnx Ambrogio
