The question now is whether the signal on RCA outputs is suitable for a sound card - i'm not sure, but IIRC i've done this before and it worked. I'd be inclined to try setting up the Behring USB though - if its a high end device it will probably sound better. Mainly out of curiosity, have you tried connecting to the mike in instead of the line in on your sound card?

Both device 0 and device 2 are on the *same* card. I would think an external device as you posted previously would register on the kernel as a separate card.

Audio drivers were not as polished as they are today for Linux. Anyway, I remember contacting some dev who asked me to rebuild my kernel with alsa as modules and run 'alsactl init', which would only produce a full output this way. I don't know if this would still be a problem today and anyway you are not experiencing the same bugs I was troubleshooting 15 years ago. So, in the first instance I would look at a USB driver, if needed, from the output in dmesg. lsusb -v would also show any bInterfaceClass 1 Audio bInterfaceSubClass 1 Control Device and any fields showing "Microphone". Finally, have a look under 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices' or similar for any USB devices, to find out what driver it is using. HTH. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I agree, but I was talking about the documentation, not about the quality of the software.

Re: [gentoo-user] OSS4
OSS4 is a set of proprietary patches. You would need support in kernel, and support at an application level to use it. Not sure if USE=oss will work with OSS4, but one thing I know for sure is that you would need to get the patches from 4front technologies. And given that they keep moving the license... why would you?

I'm using kernel 5.6.0 (off portage). It doesn't offer the OSS
possibility, deprecated or not: just Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
or nothing.

My card is on-board Intel HD ("product: 200 Series PCH HD Audio"
according to lshw), so I assume it is pretty common...

I wasn't sure about it either. I was hoping it would provide kernel
modules that could be used or something like that. Might be worth
installing and then doing a equery f alsa-oss and see just what it does
include. If it won't help, uninstall and hope for another option.
Surely there is a way to do this, somewhere. :/

Nope. That's just Alsa imitating OSS, maybe to accommodate software
that expects OSS (I may be completely wrong, of course)

[gentoo-user] OSS4
Is it possible to install it? Every random page I could find that was gentoo+oss4 related seemed old. I know the kernel does not support oss4 at all, any more than portage does, but I don't know whether that means it is impossible to install. Anyone using it? Thanks Jorge Almeida
[gentoo-user] OSS4: no sound with 4GB RAM
I'm on AMD64. I'm using OSS4 and sound doesn't work with 4GB RAM (silence or noise). Works fine with 2GB. Anyone encountered something like this before? OSS 4.1_rc2. Kernel 2.6.27.7 (2.6.27-gentoo-r4).
