I have an
Intel D945GNT board wich has Intel
High Definition Audio subsystem. I discovered today that if I want to use the microphone, I have to enable the line and mic as output and select the front mic as source for capture. Otherwise, and with no apparent reason, the recording line won't catch a single sound. It's a shame, as I hate when something is working in strange ways.


I also discovered that
Krec and
Krecord do not work as I thought they would. I record something and then save it as a wav file, but the results are not quite the expected. I know I need to read the documentation

but... let's face it, that's the last thing I do. I then had to use the gnome-sound-recorder, which actually records a lot better than
Audacity in Windows. I like
KDE, but if some gnome software works better or easier, why not use it? At least there's
KDE support for
Gnome applications and I thank to the
KDE developers for it.
