hi, i am trying to use krec to record sounds. Problem is that sometimes the mic works and at other times it doesnt. Last night it was working, I didnt switch off the machine, but in the morning it refused to work. It is an onboard card - headphones work all the time. Would this be a hardware problem or a software problem?
killall artsd does the trick for me most times. I have compiled the system without esd; but it can cause the problem as well.
In the KDE control centre; if you're using ALSA > 1.0.9; set the Sound System to use the ALSA Audio Device as well; instead of arts.
