microphone
This has got to be a simple question: I have a sound card and I've just plugged in a microphone that I want to test (not USB obviously). Is there an easy program I can install onto lenny/xfce that I can use to test it? I just tried with bplay but it wants me to have /dev/dsp which I haven't got - it should be ... 27 May 2010 04:53
