    i have tried the mic with:

    cat /dev/dsp > /dev/dsp, along with audacity, snd, and sound-recorder. i
    never get to hear myself. the mic does work out fine in windows on the
    same hardware and connections.

    i dont use kde, but kmix is prolly just the kde frontend to amixer,
    where i use alsamixer.
