Solved. Thanks!

Hello, I have a soundblaster live, the sound worrks fine but Im trying to get the mic working with gnomemeeting and im having problems.

I know the hardware and mic are good because I have it working in the windows partiotion.

I tried recording in Gnomemeeting and audacity and Im getting no signal. I hired the volume for mic under kmixer but still nothing.

Any suggestions?

tribes 2 is being given away for free... just do some searches on the net.. their even giving keys away. but apparently it doesnt work well with new kernels

Oh I forgot to add, when you quit WOW the game crashes... I just go into a terminal and kill cedega and the wineserver...

Ok, I am now completely happy with my mandrake box because I have World of Warcraft running and I now have absolutely no reason to boot into Windows (I erased it a month ago WOOOOOOHOOO).

Anyways heres what I did

1. Get Cedega - its the new WineX, its technically free so if you know what CVS is you can get it that way. I just paid 15$ to get it in RPM format (its a monthly subscription thing but I just paid for 3 months worth and cancelled.) You might also be able to find the RPMS through other ways, I dont think that its illegal to not pay for this product. Get it here http://www.transgaming.com/

2. Install World Of Warcraft. My first problem was I couldn't get WOW to install... not with Wine, not with Cedega. So what I did was install it on a windows box, copy the dir to a cd and then put it in a directory on my linux box... that worked fine.

3. Run WOW! Now there are 2 modes you can run WOW in, opengl and directdraw. DirectDraw has a problem where you cant see the cursor, there is a program called wowfix that you can run after you have run wow to fix that... i couldnt get it working, more on that here http://digital-conquest.ath.cx/wiki/index.php/WoW

OpenGL - if you run cedega WoW.exe -opengl then you have it in opengl mode. There is only one problem that I have found in opengl mode, if you have the minimap on inside buildings then the whole program crashes. So for the first bit I just shut off the minimap but that didnt work to well because some classes start indoors with the minimap ON! So I downloaded Cosmos a WOW MOD and an addon called "HideMiniMapFromStart".

Notes: I use XGAME - a cool program that launches games in a new XServer that way you can CTRL-ALT-F7 to go back to your kde session sort of like alt tabbing...

Anyways, it works awesome, hope you get it working too!
