Microphone testing

Note that in order to know if your microphone is working, you should probably have working sound. =) (todo: link)

  • using mumble?

using arecord and aplay

Learn the device. On my desktop it is:

 \arecord -l

To test "Yeti Stereo Microphone", I see that it is card 2, subdevice 0. arecord will use hw:2,0 .. aplay will still use hw:0

 \arecord -D hw:2,0 -f cd |\
 \aplay   -D hw:0   -f cd
