Sound-Recorder problems

[Bob Goodwin]

I'm running FC-2 and can not record a voice message via the microphone.

The equipment works, makes voice recordings, if I boot Win98, but not on 
FC-2 using Audacity or Gnome Sound-Recorder, in fact Gnome 
Sound-Recorder crashes as soon as I click on the "record" button? 
Audacity simply does not respond to the microphone. Sound works normally 
otherwise via xmms, etc.

I have tried changing the "alsamixer" settings without success.


EnsonicHwbrowser shoes the following for the sound card:

ES1371  [AudioPCI-97]

Ensonic

Driver: snd-ens1371

Is there some common problem of which I am not aware?  Any thoughts or 
suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.
