Hi there,
For those who may care, Audacity is good software for
recording, playing and editing audio. It has plenty of
features. If you wanted to record audio from radio or
cassette and convert them to MP3, it does that. It can
capture audio from just about any available input
source in your box and can record them in CD quality.
I set it up on a box running Fedora Core 3 with
Intel 82801DB integrated sound chip. Needs lame mp3
library to convert wav files to audio. Needs wxGTK and
wxGTK-devel libraries, may need more depending on what
is installed on your box.
Following may save lot of time and headache for you -
1. For a dual boot system sound muted in windows XP
gets carried over to Linux (shouldn�t happen but
whatever, took me a while to figure it out).
2. By default sound may be muted in KDE. Use kmix or
alsamixer to unmute.
3. Disable System sounds in KDE control penal because
artsd blocks sound card.
With all of these happening together, it may become
hard to figure out why sound is not working. I also
upgraded from FC2 to FC3 to get sound to work however
now I feel that it may also work with FC2.
I compiled Audacity from source. You should set sound
to stereo in audacity properties, as it is set to mono
by default. It also has option to select video input
but I am not sure how good that is.
