Hi Hal Just as a test - have you tried the soundcard on its own?
Why not try a PCI soundcard - just to prove to yourself that 'arecord' works as it should?

I have Debian Etch running on a Soekris net5501. I'm using a USB sound card by Startech. Here's what I get from lsusb on that: Bus 001 Device 019: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter When I run arecord, I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ arecord -D hw:0,0 -d 10 -f S16 -r 44100 -c 1 file.wav Recording WAVE 'file.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Mono arecord: xrun:1093: read/write error, state = PREPARED (There's a reason I'm doing this as root, don't feel like going into it, so let's just say I do as little as I can as root and leave it at that.) I tried it like this also: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ arecord -D hw:0,0 -d 10 -f S16 -r 22050 -c 1 file.wav Recording WAVE 'file.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono Warning: rate is not accurate (requested = 22050Hz, got = 44100Hz) please, try the plug plugin So I try (I think this is what it meant to try): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ arecord -D plughw:0 -d 10 -f S16 -r 22050 -c 1 file.wav Recording WAVE 'file.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono arecord: xrun:1093: read/write error, state = PREPARED I find this with dmesg: cannot submit datapipe for urb 0, error -28: not enough bandwidth So it appears the whole issue is not enough bandwidth on the USB input to handle recording sound off the USB sound card. I'm using a Belkin hub and, while I couldn't be sure of model numbers, I've found references to people using USB sound cards with Belkin hubs. I know this is not a high power mainboard, but it is using USB 2.0, so I figure it should handle this. I do have other devices hooked up to the same hub (2 printers, one through a USB-Parallel converter) and a HD radio that is controlled by a program on that computer. Is this just a case where I won't be able to get the bandwidth through a USB 2.0 connection or is there more to it than that? Is there some way I can make this work or would I need a regular sound card? (There's only 1 PCI slot on this board because it's an embedded system, so resources are limited.) While I realize this system may just not be able to handle this, I'm hoping it will work out without me having to use some other kind of card. Thanks for any info on this.
