steam mic support?

[yon2501]

im running ubuntu 8.04 + the latest version of wine in the repos but i cant seem to get my mic to work, ive tried all the sound drivers but to no avail. anyone know how to get mics working?

it depends what kind of mic you are using, open terminal
if it is usb mic post output of lsusb
if it is not usb mic, post output of lspci | grep -i audio

sry im a bit rusty with my terminal commands what exactly do i type in terminal, its not a usb btw

Regular mics which are attached to your sound card input should just work. Make sure you have enabled the mic/input on your mixer (i.e. it's not muted and volume is not zeroed).

Does it work outside wine?

ok so ive got it taking input now turns out the mic itself had been chewed on by my puppy and i couldn't see that in the back of my desk :\ anyway thanks
