Additional Info...

I had an xubuntu 8.04 LIVE CD and booted up with that. Sure enough the mic for the SB LIVE card works in that environment (I remember that it worked in my 8.04 ubuntu install before i did a fresh install of 8.10).

I booted up with the ubuntu 8.10 LIVE CD, am unable to record anything with the mic, our use it in any other applications.

Is this still an issue in 9.04 or 9.10? Thanks.

No it was resolved with a fresh install of 9.04 and also works in a fresh install of 9.10.

Thanks.
