hi there. i just recently got a secondhand sb live! (don't know what version - it has gold connectors on the back, if it helps) with a live! drive. it didn't come with any manuals/docs of any sort.
i've got alsa 0.9b9 compiled from source on my debian "woody" system. it seems to work fine, but i'm completely mystified by a few things. 1. i can't record from the microphone input on my live! drive. plugging a mic into the mic jack on the card works fine. i've got the gain knob on the l!d turned up to abour 70%, and i have "line livedrive" turned up (max) & set to capture. i can monitor the mic input, why won't it record? headphone jack on l!d works fine. 2. where do i find a list of what the mixer controls (i'm using alsamixer, btw) actually _do_? i couldn't get my dvd-rom drive to play cds when it was hooked up via the s/pdif input, but i eventually discovered that turning up the "iec958 ttl" mixer control and unmuting "adc/dac loopback" made it work. sure, that was obvious. also, why are there two of each of the "emu10k1 pcm 0-31" controls, four of the "emu10k1 pcm send 0-31" controls, and four "emu10k1 send routing 0-31" controls? and what's the _hell_ is an "lfe"? 3. why are the record-toggle buttons linked for some controls? for example, i can't have "line", "cd", "mic", and "aux" set to capture at the same time. i also can't have both of them turned off, since if i try to toggle capture on one of these devices, it won't turn off. other examples: "video" & "phone". i poked around geocrawler's archive for alsa-user, but it seems to lack a search function.... but i didn't see other people with the same problems. anyways... just feeling lost, confused & frustated. please make sure i get cc'd on replies, since i'm not on the list - thanks. _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
