Open Sound System

I'm having trouble getting input to work with OSS4. My ossxmix looks like this which is highly confusing to me. Nonetheless, i've tried every option in that "select1" list with most of the available /dev/dsp's to no avail. A friend of mine with the same family of sound card has an ossxmix that looks like this which is far more descriptive, intuitive, and even color-coded. He's having no issues whatsoever. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Can you post your "ossmix -a" and "ossinfo -v3" output? Also, how did you test it? I suggest trying ossrecord for testing.

Sorry. Apparently the pastebin post expired. Here's the info:

As for how I tested it, I used a variety of programs which expected microphone input, including and primarily, ossrecord. It was all silent.

This is a far too late response, so perhaps useless (I use the RSS feed to check the forum, and I missed the reply)... But some general ideas: try recording from pcmin1. Try hdaudio_noskip=7 setting in oss_hdaudio.conf (see "man oss_hdaudio").

So my motherboard fried last week and i had to get a new one (along with half of my other components) and ossxmix looks a lot fuller on my new board. Guess my old one just had crappy embedded sound hardware, but whatever the case, this is probably no longer an issue for me (i haven't tested recording anything yet, as my mic also broke a few months ago).
