Hi Guys,
On both computer 1 and computer 2, I plugged both a Cyber Acoustics
CVL-1064 Desktop Microphone and a Logitech 980463-0403 into the pink
"Mic" jack in the back (one at a time). If I click my microphone'
On/Off switch, I hear a thump in my speakers. If I thump on the mic,
I can hear the thumping in the speakers.
If I mute my microphone in gnome-volume-control, flicking my
microphone's switch only gives me a click and no thump. Thumping
on the mic is not heard in the speakers either.
I tried recording from Audacity with no joy.
So I switched to "arecord".
$ arecord -L
default:CARD=ESB2
Intel ESB2, Intel ESB2
Default Audio Device
$arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D default foobar.wav
which does record 10 seconds of me making noise into my microphone into
foobar.wav. Unfortunately, foobar.wav is completely silent.
I can play other *.wav" file with "aplay" (and Audacity).
Is there any trick to recording from my microphone? Anyone know what I
am doing wrong.
Many thanks,
-T
