[Herts] Audio Card---No mic i/p

[Cliff Deamer]

Supplementary;
I may have found the answer at www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/

The Sound Blaster Audigy SE
Chipset    CA0106
Driver & Docs    Details ca 0106

gives the information;

Digital/Analogue input does not work yet. Needs more development work.

It looks like the solution is to change to another sound card, but
what??
unless you have another suggestion?
cheers   cliff
