[Alsa-user] Cannot record from mic2 with intel8x0

[Jason G. <jas...@lo...>]

Has anyone recorded using mic2 with intel8x0?  If so, am I right about
the required amixer settings (see below).

I'm using alsa 1.0.4 under RedHat 9.

Thanks,

Jason.

(Perhaps mention of the Asus motherboard was not necessary in the my
previous post, and that's why I got no responses)
