Mike settings

[Cheryl Homiak]

Just plugged in my mike; get really bad feedback unless i turn it way down but
don't get recording when I test.
I am using aumix; here are my settings with the -q option. I think this might
have to do with the capture or mute settings but am not sure how to check or set
them in aumix.

vol 100, 100
pcm 70, 70
line 100, 100, P
mic 30, 30, R
cd 70, 70, P
rec 100, 100
igain 50, 50
phin 0, 0, P
Could somebody please tell me what to adjust.
Am using OSS from opensource.com.
Thanks.
