[Alsa-user] arecord : audio open error: No such device

[Timothy E. Krantz]

Hi,
I feel like this much be a FAQ but Ihave googled and searched and have not
found an aswer to this point so I try here.
 
arecord -l results in :
 
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 1: CX8801 [Conexant CX8801], device 0: CX88 Digital [CX88 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: CX8801_1 [Conexant CX8801], device 0: CX88 Digital [CX88 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 3: SAA7134 [SAA7134], device 0: SAA7134 PCM [SAA7134 PCM]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
 
So I try to use arecord to make a wav file with this:
 
arecord -D hw:1,0 -f cd x.wav
arecord: main:608: audio open error: No such device
 
So I try to find out what "no such device" is referring to with:
 
strace arecord -D hw:1,0 -f cd x.wav
[snip]
open("/dev/snd/pcmC1D0c", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENODEV (No such
devi
ce)
[snip]
 
so I wonder about /dev/snd/pcmC1D0c
 
ls -l /dev/snd/pcmC1D0c
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 56 2010-03-06 21:17 /dev/snd/pcmC1D0c
 
So now I am confused as to what the problem is.  Can someone shed some
light?
 
Tim
