Ardour recording

[Wesley Stout]

Hi, I am new to Ubuntu-Studio. I used Ardour with mandriva on my
desktop. I have a Gateway laptop, with Ubuntu-Studio 7.10. When I
start Jack it appears to be working, but nothing happens with
something plugged into the mic input. When I press Record with ardour
and have the track set to record, the button just flashes with no
action. I am guessing I am having some trouble with Jack? Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks

Wesley
