I was fighting my microphone in MhwaveEdit with the stock 2.6.36 i686 Mepis kernel. Could not get any playback what so ever. The needles would just not bounce.

I had this working before in AntiX 8.5 debian squeeze when I was using skype but my old notes did not apply on this install.

        }
Save the file. Close. Now open root terminal and type in

If wearing earbuds and external mic. You will hear the change. Adjust Gamix or alsa mixer to your preferences/tastes. I have tested this so far with external earbuds with a external mic. Next test will be with internal mic and earbuds without a external mic.
