Hi, I have succesfully installed the USB creative extigy using alsa. It works fine, but recording poses a problem. I only record an empty sound file, no matter how I adjust the mixer settings. My question is send to this mailing list, because I noticed alsa creates a lot of mixers. I used the programs "rec", "ecasound", "gamix" to no avail. Gamix seems to be the best mixer representing the alsa mixer devices. I am able to hear the mic and line-in signals by controlling various mixers: PCM Capture2, PCM Capture 3, I can even mix them real time, switch them of etc.
I don't realy know how alsa sound works, but if I hear sound through the mixer, i am albe to switch input sound off and on, I should theoretically be able to record it through /dev/dsp. Can I also access a certain channel? Do I have to use a different device? Is there a trick? Is it because the MIC mixer is not called MIC but PCM Capture? More in general, is there something I have missed? Regards, Robert ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
