Hi all
First, excuse me for my bad english.
I posted my problem on the french forum, but no one seems to be able to help me, so I come here for a last chance
I have 2 sound cards
/dev/dsp : HDA intel, AD1988B
/dev/dsp1 : CMI8738
They both work well for playing sound. I use the first one to play music and games.
I use the second one for communication (skype).
My problem is that none of these cards can capture audio with my microphone.
In alsamixer, i push the 'volume' of the mic and mic boost but no change.
I thought that it could come from my software, so i tried
arecord -D hw:1,0 /tmp/record.wav
and
arecord -D hw:0,0 /tmp/record.wav
When I play record.wav, the file is playing but contains no sound.
Of course, I have no probleme with windows.
Here are some informations :

did you set capture to MIC in alsamixer?

Yes, at the beginning, capture was set to "Center/LFE output". I change it in alsamixer first and then in /etc/asound.state

Probleme resolved
It was just a "stupid" configuration in the mixer.
Here is the solution to have the intel microphone chipset working :
Run alsamixer
- Be sure that surround is muted
- With the <Tab> key, go to second page and push the capture column to 100%. Be sure that 'Capture LR' appear under this column (space key)
- 'Capture LR' must appear under the mic column to
Exit alsamixer... It works \o/

I was having this problem as well, much thanks.

- 'Capture LR' must appear under the mic columnm too
It looks pretty much like my case too... Still no cigar .
Card: HDA Intel
Chip: Realtek ALC660-VD
Capture LR appears under 'Capture', but I can't make it show under 'Mic'. Any ideas?
