[Alsa-user] Crystal 4281 and 4620 and Alsa 0.5.12a -- no recording!

[Yury A. <mu...@ra...>]

Hi!

The trouble is the following: I cannot record anything from microphone 
using Crystal 4281 card (driver snd-card-cs4281) and 4620 
(snd-card-cs41xx) and Alsa 0.5.12a drivers. Playback is Ok at both 
cards. Mixer is Ok too, I hear the signal from the microphone in the 
speakers. I tried to switch capture to both mic and master in alsamixer, 
but there was no result in both cases. With 4281 card both arecord and 
record produce zero-lenght file hence they cannot read any bytes from 
the soundcard, but they also didn't report any errors! With 4620 the 
files produced are filled with silence (with a little noise). But with 
ESS1688 recording is Ok...

With best regards,
Yury.
