Linux mic not working...

atlas · #1 03-03-2003, 19:23

Hi,

I am trying to help a friend install teamspeak onto his linux computer. Things are going well accept when he tryes to talk. he has confirmed that his mic is working with linux, but its seems that it just doesnt want to work with teamspeak.... keeping in mind that this is standalone only, meaning we are just using the client with out any games running...

he has:
Linux 2.4.18-24 (red hat 7.3)
with stock sound support installed for es1371 sound card. (which comes with redhat)

is there anything else you might need to know?

any help on this issue would be great

Its seems that it is all working now, heh, but it was not as easy as it seems and definlty was a pain in the ..... to install. but it was worth it. I would hate to have to go thur that again.

hm, seemed ok here. Think the new version didnt put anything in /usr/local/bin (or whatever) but i linked that by hand with a ln -s anyhow.

I've got the same with rc1, rc2 is not working here.

Solution:

Open Kmix or aumix, activate mic and enable igain.

That's how i solved it, i've read in this forum to disable igain, but i tried to use audacity (a sound recording program) for testing, when i can record, teamspeak can also use /dev/dsp.

Activate mic and opening igain and level it a bit was the solution

I've had the exact same problem using TS2 under KDE but managed to fix it.
I opened up Kmix and enabled "Mic" (green light comes on in Kmix) and also enabled record on the "Capture" setting.
You can set these things using alsamixer (from cli) as well. Just press F4 when in alsamixer to display Capture view only as opposed to Playback which is default.
I'm sure there's other utilities to do this but the bottom line is you need your Mic on and Capture set as the recording device.

HTH.
