[PD] help with mic input in linux?

[delire]

are using pd with alsa?. 
try this first: 

'pd -rt -alsa inchannels 2' and or set it in your ~/.pdrc

if you are hearing input coming across the speakers then your bottle neck is pd. if this doesn't work you may need to explore setting your audio in devices, yes.

//do want the audio to be available to PD for processing.
