griffin imic and Ubuntu
ok i just got my griffin imic to work under Ubuntu 8.04 and thought i would share with everybody in case anybody cares. ok so here is how it all went down.
with Ubuntu 8.04 (the only one i have tried this on) when you plug in the griffin imic, Ubuntu should automatically recognize it. you can check this by here:
/proc/asound/cards
you should see something like this:
0 [something ]: some other system audio device
1 [system ]: USB-Audio - iMic USB audio system
Griffin Technology, Inc iMic USB audio
in this case the imic is card number 1.
at first i just went to the sounds app under system->prefrences->sounds and tried to select the imic from there. all i could get was the test sound through the imic everything else would come through though internal speakers. nothing i did would seem to change this setup. turns out the answer is actually pretty simple. to finally get this system to only use the imic here is what you will need to do:
you need to make a conf file to direct the system to the imic. it should look something like this:
/etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
from here all you should have to do is reboot and it should all work.
if it doesn't you could try going into the system->preferences->sounds and setting everything to usb audio. if that doesn't work then i have no idea you may have to do some more googling.
hope this helps
