Anyone want a recording of silence?
I had a similar problem when originally using an ALSA driver (from www.alsa-project.org) but the files were actually only the 44 byte WAV headers. How big are your files? Have you started a mixer and selected the microphone as the capture source? And the recording volume is up? Can you record from any other sources your card may have (eg line in)?

I will get round to updating soon.

The file size increases with the time of recording about 8MB per minute.
I am running KMix and am using the line input socket on the card. Recording volume is at maximum. I put all recording sliders up to be on the safe side and there is sound coming out of the speakers.
