Hi,
I'm writing on the off-chance that someone else has encountered this
problem or has an inkling of how it could be solved.
I have a Mac Mini and would like to use the line-in jack to perform some
very simple voice recording. When enabling Line monitoring in alsamixer,
I can hear the input fine, but no amount of fiddling with arecord has
yet enabled me to capture any audio. There are three subdevices, and I
have all set them to line input with capture switch to true. Then, I've done
$ arecord -D hw:0,[0-2] -f cd test[0-2].wav
...but to no avail.
It's not of deadly importance, but it does drive me crazy that I can
monitor the input and yet not capture it.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
S.M.

Hello SM!
Not really a nice solution, but perhaps it works, nonetheless: use jackd. I
always found that much more convenient to handle. You only have
system:capture_* and system:playback_*, nothing to go wrong there. Maybe you
can experiment some more with the alsamixer, while you are doing this. Perhaps
you need to deactivate the line-in monitoring...
I hope that helps.
Kindly yours
Julien

except that you could be using the wrong device, or the wrong capture
source setting, or ....

Yes. I tried jackd first, and then was trying to use
arecord to solve
the problem.

Please show the output of the alsa-info script.
