"Sound out of the iMic"... do you mean bypassing the USB port? should I be able to test the mic input using the phones output? (I'm not in front of it @ the moment, but I had the impression it was either mic-to-USB, or USB-to-phones) everything that can be turned up in alsamixer is turned up. I never have had very good luck messing with alsa though; and was mostly trusting that to this freshly-installed ubuntu :^( I think the snd_*_oss modules are alsa's oss-compatibility thing, not oss itself? kenneth@scivola:~$ lsmod | egrep 'audio|oss' snd_usb_audio 68160 0 snd_usb_lib 13824 1 snd_usb_audio snd_hwdep 8608 1 snd_usb_audio snd_pcm_oss 46368 0 snd_mixer_oss 16128 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 78344 4 snd_usb_audio,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd 48644 12 snd_usb_audio,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_hwdep,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer usbcore 104316 8 snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,usbvision,hci_usb,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd kenneth@scivola:~$ egrep 'AUDIO|OSS' /boot/config-`uname -r` CONFIG_CHR_DEV_OSST=m CONFIG_ISDN_AUDIO=y CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m CONFIG_SND_PDAUDIOCF=m CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m CONFIG_USB_AUDIO=m There is an instance of esd running, might that get in the way too? The sound is a little funny in other ways, w/XMMS for instance, the GUI volume slider doesn't have an effect; nor does the PCM slider in aumix, I have used aumix's Volume to adjust it. Also, when I open audacity from the menu, the Gnome desktop makes a silly little noise & causes audacity to not be able to initialize the appropriate device I found an ubuntuforums howto called "Happy ALSA, OSS, ESD, with Duplex - Sound Settings", I'll try going through that this evening Thanks again, Kenneth
