OT: sound recording problem
Greetings: I am recording audio from my windows pc to my freebsd machine. When I do this I get a lot of static noise along with the expected audio. Is there setting in windows to only output line volume? mixer =rec line sox -V -c 2 -r 44100 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp /home/henninb/test.wav Thanks, Brian _ Choose now from 4 levels of MSN Hotmail Extra Storage - no more account overload! http://click.atdmt.com/AVE/go/onm00200362ave/direct/01/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: sound recording questions
Since you have a rec option in your mixer I would go ahead and set the record input (which you probably already did) mixer -f /dev/mixer[device] =rec [ line, mic ] When you run mixer you should see ... Mixer videois currently set to 75:75 Recording source: mic So I got my recording source in mixer output. Also you could try giving the program the actual device /dev/dspW0.1 instead of a symlink Maybe it will like that better. The only other thing I can say on the topic is that many full duplex cards (I am not at all familiar with yours) can do full duplex but may only do 8 bit in one direction and 16 bit in the other. So they may be trying to set AFMT_S16_LE or AFMT_STEREO in both directions, which might not work. They should be doing AFMT_U8 on playback and AFMT_STEREO on recording . Not sure if this helps you. My only recording interests were to Tivo Radio talk show Mainly Art Bell. Um. So I just have some crappy program and some scripts. I have not been played with anything else related to recording.

Sound recording application
Hello, does anybody know about sound recording application with following features ? - it doesn't require X Windows, it has command line interface - it is able to continuously monitor audio card's line-in input and record only when there is not silence - based on reaching some preset threshold - ideally but not necessary, it's able to save each recorded sequence (divided with silence) to new file Thank you for any recommendation!

Dell Latitude C600 and Sound Recording - help!
A question for the gurus, or anyone with an idea on how to fix this... :) I have just installed FreeBSD 4.8-RC1 (ISO from ftp.au.freebsd.org) on my Dell Latitude C600 laptop a few days ago. Everything works perfectly except sound recording (playback is fine). The sound hardware in the laptop is OK, as I've tried it with Windows and Linux under which both recording and playback are OK. I've checked and doublechecked mixer volumes, and tried a variety of different sound recording software. The symptoms of the problem are as follows - I can plug a microphone in and turn up the mixer volume to the Mic, and set the recording source to the Mic, which causes the sound from my microphone to be echoed back onto the output channel. (So sound mixing is OK). But in all cases but one if I try to make a recording I get silence - the remaining case being rawrec, which just locks and requires a kill -9 to terminate. The programs I have tried are: - wavrec (from wavplay) - wmrecord - xwave - glame - gnomemeeting (the actual main reason why I want recording to work, BTW) - rawrec (as mentioned above) Dmesg output follows: Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.
