Hi Andy, No apology required. Yes, the short answer is that the sound card has several microphone inputs but the names are different. I'm not at the machine now but I recall there are "front mic"& "rear mic" of various types, but none are called just plain "mic".
I should have reported back to Thomas: Yes, commenting out the lines solved the problem and the keyer worked as expected without any complaints from amixer (in my code it was lines 1234 and 1236). It was a very satisfactory work-around as I don't use other mic inputs during contesting. Alternatively I suppose I could have just renamed the entries in lines 1234/1236 to match my sound card and thus had the benefit of suppressing other sounds (mic inputs) during the voice keyer operation; but I have not tried this. Thank you so much for the updates to the scoring and bandmap; I am still playing around with it, but I like it so far. I have another question about the operation of the program, but I will post that separately as it is quite different from this topic. 73, N6ROB On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 10:32 AM, Andy Summers <g4kno.m...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Sorry about that, it was my fault.
