Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Sound Problem, Suse 8.1 with Alsa, Laptop and so on

[Sigi <psusi sbox tu-graz ac at>]

it seems, there is a problem with the mic......
in the mixer windows I ticked the mic as my recording device....

but i cant hear anything while playing the wavfile....seems as if the 
recording is the problem....
(the soundcard is alright because it works under M$)

wavrec -d /dev/dsp myfile.wav
^[[21~
linux:~ #
linux:~ # wavplay myfile.wav
Pathname:       myfile.wav
Device:         /dev/dsp
Sampling Rate:  22050 Hz
Mode:           Mono
Samples:        220500
Bits:           16
