I was unable to get good recordings with OSS/kernel drivers. (Big crackles, I might not have known what mixer settings to use at that time)

ALSA made things work better. I was happy, but then I think setting IGain to 1 sounds like it is over-driving a bit. ALSA's mixer for the SBLive seems very confusing - there are so many bars. Using an OSS mixer program with ALSA drivers was what finally worked for me. (I like aumix, since I don't have X on the box)

I wondered if the emu10k1 driver on sourceforge was any better, but it behaves the same way. Which I guess is good enough.

Has anyone been able to adjust the record level on a SB Live? What driver and what mixer control?

Thanks,

I ended up doing that too. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet tho... Good to know it should work at least.

Personally I think it would be reasonable to just leave out the igain setting entirely. At least for my setup turning the igain down never really accomplishes anything.

I spent weeks experimenting with OSS drivers for my SB Live 5.1 and finally gave up and switched to alsa because even though I could record from tv with this fix, I never managed to get the centre speaker working when watching a DVD. Switching to Alsa made things so much easier. Because all the volume controls are labelled differently, there is no IGain, and hence it's never set to 0.
Have a look at
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=emu10k1
for info on the volume controls.


Alsa is really worth it.
