Re: sound/alsa INPUT issue - getting a bit stressed out - solved

hey i gotta go out to my FSFE meeting now but here is my alsa as an imagebin http://imagebin.org/209854

As you can see, stuff is on - I can even hear feedback from the mic in my headset when i turn the mic volume up higher.

However, if you look at only the capture options, and not all, as above, its like this

http://imagebin.org/209855

no amount of clicking or shouting or key pressing as been able to alter this menu, other than the one volume bar. Not sure what is wrong. I can switch of the L and R things using 0 and . on my number pad, otherwise  not much happens any idea?

'Capture' is not on for 'Mic'.
Use arrow keys to position on 'Mic', then press space bar to toggle activation.
(use F1 key to get help - space = toggle capture)

Re: sound/alsa INPUT issue - getting a bit stressed out - solved

ah, i see. Its took me a while to figure out which capture you meant, I had turned it on in the capture menu, but it was still disabled in the all menu. This is a very strange setup!!

Thank you so much for your help, I am sorry it has taken a long time to solve what is actually a simple problem. Doesn't help that I didn't understand what toggle meant. In england, toggle is a thing on the strings of your raincoat hood!
