Thanks, Mike!
This works, as root. As a mortal user, I can not get it to record anything.
What permissions do I have to change for this?
Also, the voice being recorded is really, really faint. There is an option
called Mic Boost [+20dB] on alsamixer, but I can not seem to increase it at
all.
It is currently set at the lowest (non-existent) level, and I want to increase
this. How do I go about increasing this volume, can anyone please tell me?
Any other suggestions on how I could increase its recording volume?
Best wishes!
