This has got to be a simple question: I have a sound card and I've just plugged in a microphone that I want to test (not USB obviously). Is there an easy program I can install onto lenny/xfce that I can use to test it?

I just tried with bplay but it wants me to have /dev/dsp which I haven't got - it should be using udev shouldn't it? I read the description of elisa and it has megs of gnome stuff to install as well - is it worth it?

You could try Audacity – it has a lot of features, but not that many
dependencies I think.

OK I guess my search terms must have been bad! Audacity didn't come up when I used "sound recorder".

Anyway, audacity is great - although it's proved that my mic is bust.

Thanks
