    Some problems with audio

    Hi, I'have two problems with audio on my brand new PC:

    1) I'm non able to make my mike work: I can hear my voice form the speakers when I talk to my mike, but it is impossible (to me) to record a sound even with siple commands like

    cat /dev/audio > audio
    cat audio > /dev/audio

    (the same thing happens making the substitution audio -> dsp). Also software like skype can't record and broadcast anything.

    2) This is about CD player. I'm sure that my device is OK (I've just installed Kubuntu using it), and I'm also sure that my CDs are readable. The behaviour when I try to listen to a CD is strange: the music is OK for the first 6 seconds, then the sound disappear while the software I use (i.e. Amarok, KsCD, Kaffeine...) pretend to go on playing music.

    I suspect there is something wrong with some setting of Phonon. But I'm new to KDE, and I'm not able to solve these problems. Please help me. Thanks. M.P.

        Thank you, perhaps you succeeded in solving my mic problem. Now if I set mic boost to maximum it is possible to hear someting, but I do not want to hear my voice from the speaker... how can I do that? (I think there would be some cursor to move, but I have a lot of them... please help...)

        Then have you any idea for my cd-playing problem?

          in the mixer try muteing your mic... you should not hear it any more... then try using a program such as audacity to record from it....

          about your audio cd's have you installed the medibuntu repo (www.medibuntu.org) that will help you with a lot of media, not sure if audio cd's are included in that as i have not tried one.
