Tested with this: Mixer vol is currently set to 84:84 Mixer pcm is currently set to 96:96 Mixer speaker is currently set to 85:85 Mixer line is currently set to 20:20 Mixer mic is currently set to 100:100 Mixer mix is currently set to 94:94 * Mixer rec is currently set to 100:100 * Mixer igain is currently set to 100:100 Mixer ogain is currently set to 100:100 Recording source: mic On these sites: https://webcammictest.com/check-mic.html https://www.onlinemictest.com/ Firefox finds the mic but no input back in Chromium doesn't even find the mic. The webcam works on both. Audacity doesn't record anything from the mic. Thanks for trying. -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since version 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio.... YET!!]
