I had a comparable problem (not "mic not found", but "mic-through can be heared, but it doesn't record anything, in no program"). The solution was to set the gain mixer channels (igain, ogain) to 100, and then it worked; maybe 0...99 = off, 100 = on? ;-) So maybe try setting all related channels to 100 first and then see if you can reduce the level. In worst case, attach an external hardware mixer to get better level control (which is what I'm doing at the moment). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
