[linux-audio-user] Voip with snd_intel8x0 module

[Andres Cabrera]

Hi,
If I understand correctly, what might be happening is not software 
mixing, but hardware mixig, i.e. the mic input is going directly to the 
outputs through the card's hardware mixer. This may happen even if the 
selected input for recording is not the mic. You can check this using 
the alsa mixer or something like gamix (see if the mic input is open). 
If this is what is happening, the recording input might be set to line 
instead of mic.
