Bonjour,

I have a realtek ALC882D sound card on board Asus P5WD2 Premium. Sound works, but mic input is very low and I can hardly use it.

I am running a 2.6.17-1.2142_FC4smp kernel and alsa.

Alsamixer gives sttings for: headphones, pcm, front, front mic, surround, center, LFE, side, line CD mic, IEC958, capture, capture 1, capture 2, input source, input source 1 & 2

I tried some different settings but without any success....

Moreover I cannot get an input device switch with audacity (I compiled the last version from CVS with alsa support).

Does anybody have any clue?

I don't know about Audacity, but most microphones will sound low if the sound card's mic boost isn't turned on. Is there a mic boost anywhere, perhaps even under a different name?
