This isn't an Orca issue; I would suggest taking it up on an audio-related
list and having a close look at the Alsa parameters of your sound card using
amixer or alsamixer.

There was a recent discussion on this list of Orca and audio recording
applications that may be of interest. Ecasound would also be worth
investigating. I have found it to be highly valuable for a number of
audio-related purposes, including file conversions, rewinding/forwarding
through an audio file, etc. Ecasound is also a recording tool.
