I'm trying to digitize a tape. The tape deck output is attached to the input of my sound card. I can hear the sound on my speakers, which are attached to the same sound card; but nothing is coming out of /dev/dsp.
The mixer seems to work as advertized, volume and muting work OK. I've tried activating recording, which (I think) is indicated by a red light below the volume sliders for a number of diffreent inputs with no effect: The commands: $ cat /dev/dsp > foo $ od -h foo 0000000 8080 8080 8080 8080 8080 8080 8080 8080 * 0410000 seem to indicate that the output of /dev/dsp is nil. Any idea about what the trouble is, how to fix it, or useful info to gather? My setup is as follows: Sound Card : Sound Blaster Live! Drivers : ALSA Version 0.9.0beta9. System : RedHat 7.2, kernel 2.4.7-10 Mixer : KMix Loaded Modules : $ lsmod | fgrep snd snd-pcm-oss 38992 1 (autoclean) snd-mixer-oss 9040 1 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-card-emu10k1 2384 3 (autoclean) snd-emu10k1 52176 0 (autoclean) [snd-card-emu10k1] snd-pcm 50304 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-emu10k1] snd-timer 9776 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-rawmidi 12256 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd-ac97-codec 23440 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd-hwdep 3760 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd-util-mem 1632 0 (autoclean) [snd-emu10k1] snd-seq-device 4112 0 (autoclean) [snd-card-emu10k1 snd-rawmidi] snd 27552 1 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-card-emu10k1 snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm snd-timer snd-rawmidi snd-ac97-codec snd-hwdep snd-util-mem snd-seq-device] soundcore 4464 6 (autoclean) [snd] _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
