Re: [Alsa-user] EMU 0404 USB little problems
Hi, Thanks for your answer. I know the driver is still in beta stage. The lack of support for other sampling rates apart from 44.1k and 48k does affect me at all, what I wanted to achieve is just normal playback at these two rates (or at least one of them) without the artifacts.

[Alsa-user] Help with arecord
People, I can use xine etc to play audio and video files happily but I have had limited success trying to record audio from the microphone. At one point I could hear sound from the microphone coming out of the speakers and after juggling krec, kmix and the audio manager was able to play a file using kaboodle and record it using krec but I have not been able to record to file directly from the microphone eg using: strace arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D copy foobar.wav it is hanging on: unlink(foobar.wav)= 0 open(foobar.wav, O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 3 write(3, RIFF\304\352\32\0WAVE, 12) = 12 write(3, fmt \20\0\0\0, 8)= 8 write(3, \1\0\2\0D\254\0\0\20\261\2\0\4\0\20\0, 16) = 16 write(3, data\240\352\32\0, 8)= 8 ioctl(4, 0x4142, 0) = 0 poll( no matter how I use amixer to set the source. I have uploaded the ALSA data to: http://pastebin.ca/903687 If anyone could help me get this working it would be much appreciated! I would like to start using various audio apps including music software and VOIP stuff. Thanks in advance.

Hi! Probably you could try the samplerate conversion plugin. I don't know the exact name, but you can have a look at the alsa page. Look for the wiki main page and then look for the plugins.

[Alsa-user] can't get mic to work on snd-intel8x0
Hi All, I'm very new to ALSA and in fact I've never had the need to change the default setting before. However in this occasion and with my desktop PC I've trying to configure my mic in order to use programs like skype but no luck. I'm running fedora 8 and KDE 3.5. I hear sounds fine but my mic is not working (I use a record to test it and all I hear is silence). The soundcard detection utility gives me the following details: Vendor: Intel Corporation Model: 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (IHC6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller Module: snd-intel8x0 What I noticed is that in Kmix under the input tab if try to put the capture slider to the top it gets down to 0 every time I quit the app. Also and since the PC is Dell Dimension 5000 I have two mic connectors (one at the front and the other at the back of the PC) and they appear to be listed in kmix as mic1 and mic2 but none of them is working. My /etc/modprobe.conf below: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 b44 alias scsi_hostadapter libata alias scsi_hostadapter1 ata_piix alias scsi_hostadapter2 usb-storage alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-intel8x0 index=0 alias wlan0 ath5k [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i alsa alsa-utils-1.0.15-1.fc8 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.15-2.fc8 alsa-lib-1.0.15-1.fc8 alsamixergui-0.9.0-0.3.rc1.fc8.2 bluez-utils-alsa-3.20-4.fc8 I have no ~/.asoundrc ...
