Sound recordings fails
|
|
| Dirk Hartmann 2007-08-16, 7:14 pm |
| Hello,
i want to record some old records but i don't get an input signal. With my
Win98 partition sound recording works. Furthermore i can *play* any sound
with Debian Linux.
System:
Debian Sarge stable
Kernelversion 2.4 (This means with no native Alsa support)
alsa-driver-1.0.2 compiled by myself
Sound Blaster Audigy whith module emu10k1
cat /proc/asound/devices
0: [0- 0]: ctl
4: [0- 0]: hardware dependent
9: [0- 1]: raw midi
8: [0- 0]: raw midi
19: [0- 3]: digital audio playback
26: [0- 2]: digital audio capture
25: [0- 1]: digital audio capture
16: [0- 0]: digital audio playback
24: [0- 0]: digital audio capture
1: : sequencer
6: [0- 2]: hardware dependent
10: [0- 2]: raw midi
11: [0- 3]: raw midi
33: : timer
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Audigy ]: Audigy - Sound Blaster Audigy
Sound Blaster Audigy (rev.3) at 0xd400, irq 10
Full duplex is active
So in my opinion everything looks good. But the mixer Kmix seems to have a
problem:
First of all in the card "output" i got "Input" and "Input2". Input shows a
green LED. According to a manual there has to be a red LED too. It doesn't
show. With a right mouseclick I controlled whether all channels are
checked. They are.
Second: The card Input shows nothing. The right mousecklick offers no
options for showing channels.
I gues the Alsa module causes the problem. But I couldn't find a hint in the
man pages, e.g. for an option when compiling the module.
Thanks in advance for any help or a proposal for a suitable newsgroup. Have
a nice day.

Is aRTS and ALSA "running"? Kill aRTS and test.

Change the [*] to [M] in the kernel. Be certain to unload your ALSA
stuff if local.rc, or whatever, is loading ALSA.

I did. Both are running.
Output of "ps xa | grep arts": 0:04 artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -d -b 16 -s 60 -m
artsmessage -c drkonqi -l 3 -f
lsmod says that all alsa modules are loaded. More alsa stuff should't be
necessary, right?

As I wrote I use kernelversion 2.4 which offers no Alsa module, this
started with kernel 2.5.5. That's why I compiled the module. According to
cat /proc/asound/devices the neccessary devices have been created. And at
least playing sound works. The docs and manuals told me nothing about
additional flags which have to be set in order to record sound.
BTW: I first tried recording with gramofile. Because of the known problem I
used Krec. It's manuals stated that Arts Audio Manager has to show Krec:in
and Krec:out as two necessary entries. It does.
Hope you got an inspiration. I ran out of ideas and manuals to read.
Best regards

Does this mean you turned off aRTS and tried it?
