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.

The fact that it was working and didn't after a long suggests the problem is either with sound daemon leaking memory and crashing (unlikely) or with the kernel modules.
Why ?
The m/c might be set to go into suspend mode ? Many ppl have face problem with suspend to ram. Try checking the acpi settings.
If nothing reload the sound daemon after reloading the sound kernel modules.
