Unfortunately, once I have done that, I can no longer static is better than nothing, it means that at least the dma is correctly configured and connected. i suggest the following experiment: cat /dev/dspW > /dev/dspW in a window, and play with "mixer" in another one to see/set the levels and recording sources. > use the port. The console says: "write denied, another writer is in" this usually happens when there is another process using the device and did not properly terminate (possibly because it is not getting an interrupt to terminate, and this is possibly due to misconfigured dma, but in this case you would get no static...). check with "ps" or "top" what's going on. > FWIW, I have a Labtec boom mic plugged into my mic port. > > Any hints? see above, in addition to the usual stupid things that one could do (plug in the wrong port, no power on the mic if it has one, non-working mic because of broken cable...) cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
