Setting up a microphone
Hello, I'd like to try recording through the microphone both for skype and for general audio recording but can't figure out how to get sound out of the microphone. The Handbook's 7.2.2 Testing the Sound Card section is a great set of simple instructions for testing of playback (cat /dev/sndstat, cat filename /dev/dsp) but I can't seem to find an equivalent for getting my microphone going. Does anyone have a similar set of checks for testing microphone input? $ uname -r 5.4-RELEASE-p3 $ cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: Creative CT5880-E at io 0xb000 irq 20 kld snd_es137x (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default) Thanks, ksb ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Listening to music, etc. works just fine for me too, it's how to get input from the mic which I'm stuck on. The machine is dual boot so I know the hardware works and the things are plugged into the right place (Skype works when running XP). This must be a FreeBSD config thing. I've tried, unsuccessfully, working with mixer, rawrec, wmrecord and audacity to capture sound, so I'm now looking for a simple 'is your microphone working' test akin to the 'cat some_small_file /dev/dsp' for testing noise coming out of the speakers (which still works). 'cat /dev/dsp foo', speaking for a bit into the mic, then cntl-c to stop, does create a non-empty file but then a 'cat foo /dev/dsp' doesn't produce any sound. The rawrec port seems promising but no love from 'rawrec foo.raw' / 'rawplay foo.raw'. All this with mixer showing non-zero levels for all channels and trying it with the recording source as mic and then line. Something's gotta give here. Maybe try updating to RELEASE-p8? Indeed I'll update anyway but I don't believe any of those patches are sound related.
