Re: [Alsa-user] Capturing audio on second capture input

2020-03-31 Thread Christopher Lansing
Ah, thanks. I thought I'd tried that to see if it was working, but I must
have gotten the device string format wrong or something. arecord is
perfectly happy recording from either device. So I guess my problem is
really in JACK (or it's just impossible to use both devices at once). I'll
hunt down the JACK support forums/mailing lists, and see what I can find
out.

Thanks!

You have to tell whatever program you're using to use this device.
For example, "arecord -D plughw:0,2 -f dat something.wav".

Thanks for helping me look into it.

I've got three devices showing up - although one of them is my USB webcam.
But I believe the output is saying two devices on the audio card (unless
that subdevice info changes the meaning of "device 0" and "device 2")

card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 2: ALC892 Alt Analog [ALC892 Alt Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: camera [USB  Live camera], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

How many devices show up in the output of "arecord -l"?

[Alsa-user] Capturing audio on second capture input

2020-03-30 Thread Christopher Lansing
Hi Mailing list,

I'm hoping somebody can either help me solve this, or at least confirm that
it can't be done so I can stop trying to solve it. Long story short, I have
a built-in audio card (ALC892), which looks like it should be able to
capture two inputs. At least, alsamixer shows "Capture" and "Capture 1",
JACK agrees with that assessment, and if I've figured out how to read the
system info, that should be right.

The card has front mic, rear mic, and line-in options. If I assign any of
them to "Capture" in alsamixer, I can record from any one of them. But I
can't record from "Capture 1". Nothing assigned to it comes through. It has
been switched on in alsamixer. I'd like to be able to capture one of the
mics and the line-in at the same time.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? What system information do you need to
help figure this out? Or is this a known "it doesn't work, stop wasting
time on it"?

Thanks,
Christopher
