Re: [Alsa-user] Mic not working with arecord on RedHat el5

Hi Clemens,

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it did not work. Disabling
Headphone Jack Sense resulted in playback into both the headphone and the
computer speakers. If I enable Headphone Jack Sense then it cuts off the
computer speakers when the headphones are plugged in. It did not make any
difference to the recording. arecord still does not work.
