Sound: Microphone not working properly

[Alberto Giménez <algibe@teleline.es>]

Hi,

I use Debian Sarge and I installed ALSA drivers for sound card C-Media
CMI8738. I did 'alsaconf' and everything worked OK.

I can hear sounds (xmms, KDE noatun, etc) but i have an issue when
recording sound (well, i don't want to record sound, but use X-Lite VoIP
client, that's just testing).

I (think) I have alsamixer channels OK (no mic muted, etc), but when I
record a sound with my mic (with sound-recorder), it doesn't record
nothing.

But wait, if I blow at the mic (so sound is louder), it's recorded!!
just blows are recorded.

It seems a volume issue, but I have capture and mic levels at 100, and
when no recording i can hear myself (mic-headphones loop works OK), and
sounds good. Any idea?

Thanks in Advance.
