there is not enough information to answer this. what soundcard chipset is used? can you record audio fine? have you set your mixer settings and capture device correctly? are you using OSS or ALSA? what version of the linux kernel are you running? is the sound driver loaded as a module or compiled in the kernel?
also be sure to do a google search without the word freevo as this is not a freevo problem but a linux sound configuration problem. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Matthew Carpenter Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 12:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Freevo-users] Old Question Reborn-No Sound What was ever determined of this problem? I am running Freevo 1.4.1 and am still experiencing this issue. Google found this message and another like it, but no fix. Any ideas? From: Mike LeVan Subject: [Freevo-users] Recording Problems with Sound Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2003 20:24:00 -0800 Hi all, I am trying to get recording going (my last step -- I think), and I need a little help. I am using mencoder/mplayer version 0.91. I think I have figured out how to record video on freevo, but I am having some problems with audio. I can watch TV just fine with audio and video, but I am can't get an audio feed for the recording. I am using cable TV, and I have the cable TV coming into an ATI All-In-Wonder VE card. I have the audio out from the ATI card going into my soundcard (onboard). I have tried to use /dev/dsp and /dev/audio on my mencoder command. They are the only options which do not return an audio error. It is just that I get a "static" type of sound. When I open sound recorder, I can raise the line-in option and hear the TV without anything running. Here is the command I am using to record: ============================= mencoder -tv on:driver=v4l:input=0:norm=NTSC:channel=38:chanlist=us-cable:width=640:heigh t=480:outfmt=yv12:device=/dev/video0:adevice=/dev/dsp:audiorate=44100:forcea udio:forcechan=1:buffersize=64 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=1200:keyint=30 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=128:cbr:mode=3 -ffourcc divx -endpos 5 -o blah.avi ============================= Here is the output: ============================= MEncoder 0.91-RPM-3.1 (C) 2000-2003 MPlayer Team CPU: Advanced Micro Devices Athlon 4 PM Palomino/Athlon MP Multiprocessor/Athlon XP eXtreme Performance (Family: 6, Stepping: 2) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: Type: 6 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Reading /root/.mplayer/codecs.conf: can't open '/root/.mplayer/codecs.conf': No such file or directory Reading /etc/mplayer/codecs.conf: 50 audio & 136 video codecs File not found: 'frameno.avi' Reading config file /root/.mplayer/mencoder: No such file or directory success: format: 0 data: 0x0 - 0x0 TV detected! ;-) Selected driver: v4l name: Video 4 Linux input author: Alex Beregszaszi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> comment: under development Selected device: BT878(ATI TV-Wonder VE) Capabilites: capture tuner overlay clipping frameram scales Device type: 235 Supported sizes: 48x32 => 768x480 Inputs: 2 0: Television: tuner audio tv camera (tuner:1, norm:ntsc) 1: Composite1: audio camera (tuner:0, norm:ntsc) audio block size too low, setting to 8192!
