Hello,
I'd like to try recording through the microphone both for skype and 
for general audio recording but can't figure out how to get sound out 
of the  microphone.
The Handbook's "7.2.2 Testing the Sound Card" section is a great set 
of simple instructions for testing of playback (cat /dev/sndstat, cat 
filename > /dev/dsp) but I can't seem to find an equivalent for 
getting my microphone going.
Does anyone have a similar set of checks for testing microphone input?
$ uname -r
5.4-RELEASE-p3
$ cat /dev/sndstat

FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)

Installed devices:

pcm0: <Creative CT5880-E> at io 0xb000 irq 20 kld snd_es137x (1p/1r/0v 
channels duplex default)
Thanks,

It's worked flawlessly for me after I add recompiled the kernel with 
sound support. (I use Skype as well.)
Maybe try updating to RELEASE-p8?
