Hey Group;

Line In. Hopefully the impedance is good enough and the level is OK.
It plays out of the speakers and sounds OK also. Now for the question ?
I would like to save the music as a mp3, ogg or whatever. Kmix spots it
as a Line Input. What is needed to capture it and put it in a file.
Say like a mixer record output
No luck with audacity?
The Input selections in 1.3.2 are Vol, Line, Mic, CD, Line1, Phonein,
Phoneout and Video. You should then be able to record from the Line
input.
File --> Export as --> MP3 or whatever format.

The problem is Sid;
That Audacity will only work as a user if you change the permissions on
/dev/dsp. I tried several and only 777 seem to work. However, Audacity
will only "Record" once and then it fails on the second try. Now this
may be a "Me" problem understanding the way it saves data. I have fixed
it by removing /home/donn/.audacity-data and trying it again. It ask
for lang. which I set and then it comes up with full features.
I and several others have had similar permissions problems with gizmo
which actually said there was no audio device. I did strace and
submitted it to the forum, but the mystery continued. Then I had a
brainwave, tried it as root and it was AOK. So I added the user to audio
in /etc/group, also did the same for video a while back when kaffeine
complained about no video, though OK with audio.
was
audio:x:17:
now
audio:x:17:lancelot
video:x:33:lancelot
It's a strange behaviour, stuff used to come up with ownerships in /dev
of e.g <user>:audio, then quite a while ago on Mandriva and more
recently on openSUSE, they are "root:audio", so the user can't get to
them. Don't know whether it's a bug or feature, but it's a gotcha. Most
apps work, but there is always one or two that experience the problem.
It's only last week I got this problem when I fired up gizmo the first
time in months.
Without the changes my DVB card would complain when kaffeine is fired up.
