This board has 7.1 audio and audio can be recorded via "sound in" jack (stereo jack connector) or "microphone" jack. These input jacks are placed on the back side of the case (on the mainboard). When I connect microphone to this jack and turn it on, it works great. But there is an option to connect some "sound bracket" to this board. You can buy computer case which has some input jacks on the front side and connect the cable from them to your mainboard. So you get two more jacks. One for phones and one for microphone. If you have headset (for internet telephony) with earphones and microphone, you don't need to connect them to the back side of your case. You connect them to the front side. And this is a problem. If I connect my microphone to the front "sound bracket", the volume is very very low. If I connect it to the back jack (integrated on motherboard), it works normally (I can record with normal volume). I think this is not a configuration problem. I tried every combination in alsamixer and nothing helps. Always front jack has very low audio. If I record something using it, I need set very high volume to hear something, if I play it. Lots of people has these computer cases with front bracket and think it's very confusing when it works normally in Windows and in Linux you cannot use the front connector. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- alchemyx - 08-19-05 17:37 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It did solve that issue. Thank you! By the way I see some nice changes in drivers (like easy choosing channels number, great). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jirka - 08-20-05 09:36 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't have time now to test the change, but if alchemyx says it's working I think it will work for me too. I thought I had the 1.0.9 version but now I found that my version is 1.0.9a so it probably makes a difference. I think you can select this bug as solved and #0001346 too. Thanks for great support and high quality software.
