[Alsa-user] Metallic recording in cs46xx on Thinkpad T22

2008-03-11 Thread Gadi Oron
Hi everyone, I ran over a lot of Internet search and could not find any clue to this issue. I am trying to record sound on an old Thinkpad T22 that uses the cs46xx sound driver. Each time you start to record you have a 10% chance of having the recording completely distorted and having a

Hi Romeo! I don't have neither. But I have an M-Audio Delta 1010LT, which I suppose is RELATIVELY close to the revolution 5.1. If they also use the ICE-chip, then they are nice. I also remember, that we had a lot of traffic about the revolution cards here. Since I didn't notice those mails

Each time you start to record you have a 10% chance of having the recording completely distorted and having a metallic sound. I know that sound. And it is quite ugly. On my snd-hda-intel board(nVidia MCP61), I have to increase the number of periods to overcome this sound. default of 2

To use your second card, you have to specifify the device somewhere. If you want just the hardware abilities, just use the hw:1 device instead of default:1 or whatever you are using now. Using hw:1:0, I get the error message sample format non available most of the time, I guess the

Sadly, I've already tried all of these to no avail. What recording application are you using? I've had issues where audacity would give me that metalic sound and ardour+jackd would not. And vice versa. Depending on versions and whatnot. Beyond that I really can't offer any more insight

Whether this works will depend on your hardware. Some devices support capturing the audio output, some don't. Well, I swapped it around so that the onboard sound was card 0 and it works that way. But the quality of what gets recorded is bad, actually hideous is more appropriate. From
