The problem is I cannot record any sound on my FreeBSD 5.3 machine. I
read the multimedia mailing list archives but couldn't find anything
enlightening. I'll try to include all relevant information I can think of.
Here's an extract from pciconf -lv
emu10kx0 at pci0:15:0: class=0x040100 card=0x10021102 chip=0x00041102
rev=0x04 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Creative Labs'
device = 'SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Audigy 2 Audio Processor'
class = multimedia
subclass = audio
Here's the output of mixer, everything looks reasonable in my opinion:
%mixer
Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75
Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75
Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75
Mixer line is currently set to 75:75
Mixer mic is currently set to 50:50
Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75
Mixer rec is currently set to 75:75
Mixer ogain is currently set to 50:50
Mixer line1 is currently set to 75:75
Mixer phin is currently set to 75:75
Mixer phout is currently set to 0:0
Mixer video is currently set to 75:75
Recording source: mic
And here's the output of "emuctrl list in":
# emuctrl list in

in6 AUX2 75:75 (75:75)
Here /dev/sndstat:
# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <EMU10Kx PCM Interface> on emu10kx0 (16p/1r/0v channels duplex
default)
I'm trying to record using audacity, which produces no errors, but
records only silence. I've tried both "mic" and "line1" devices. No luck
with Skype either. The mic works with my windows machine. So, how should
I continue?
best regards,
