Using Debian Lenny I recorded a wav file with Audacity to burn to a cd with K3b.The problem is when I played the cd with KsCD; it wouldn't stop when it got to the end; it just kept studdering. I didn't have problems using KsCD to play CDs I had ripped and then burned with K3b.Is this a problem with KsCD, or do I need to do something when I finish the file with Audacity?
View 7 RepliesI recorded some clips on the internet through the sound card withAudacity. I exported the recording as a wave file, and burnt it to a CD. The problem is stop playing. It comes to the end and just repeats the last fraction of a second over and over.I used K3b to burn other audio CDs that I copied and didn't havea problem with KsCD playing them. Is this a problem with Audacity,KsCD or did I do something wrong?I recorded the file; saved project and then exported as a wave file

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to record in Audacity in Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit on a Dell Studio 1535 laptop.The problem is not that its not recording, per se.Rather, the problem is its not recording the way that I want it to.
Its recording from the built-in mic, and I want to use the mic jack instead as a line in from a guitar (well, technically, an acoustic-electric resonator, but its close enough to a guitar to call it a guitar).
I have tried using various devices for recording, and changing settings in both the Volume Control and Sound Preferences, but no matter what I do, Audacity still records from my built-in microphones, instead of from the line-in.
How to enable sound while playing multiple video ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedFor about 3-4 weeks, my file system used space was growing and growing. After some days, I decided to analyze the file system in order to understand what is going on. Well, the results returned that the log files at /var/log ( especially kern.log, syslog and messages ) were the log files that were sucking the free space. I searched if this was some kind of bug but it turned out that if these files are growing, the problem is in the records.
So I picked from the tail of the messages log the last 50 lines and I saw this:

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 in a Samsung R510. I've tried to record sound with an external microphone and there have always been a permanent noise accompanying it.I thought it could be the internal microphone, that's causing the noise, but even when I disabled it the noise remains. Or maybe I didn't disable it the right way !

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to measure the time it takes to execute a C function. The question is which is the best method to record time. After a lot of searching online, I found two ways [URL]:
a. using clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &t)
b. using TSC
I call the C function 50 times (recording the time it takes for each call). The average is found only for the last 35 calls.
Using (a), I get:
48345 us
28350 us
28379 us
27716 us
[code]....
Average time for the last 35 loops: 121450.47 microseconds
Using (b), I get:
48130 cycles
28726 cycles
28820 cycles
27421 cycles
[code]....
Average for the last 35 loops: 27236.66 cycles What could be causing the strange value of 3322259 us in method (a)? I could just use method (b) but I would like to know what is going on here... Btw, I am using a desktop - with Linux debian 2.6.26 #1 SMP.
I have recently installed OpenSUSE 11.3. I can play audio files, but there is a problem recording, namely the recording is way too slow. This was tried 3 ways: in Audacity, in Skype (making a test call), and using the arecord command in a console, as root. To make the playback sound normal, I tried taking the already-recorded file and speeding it up in Audacity. It was necessary to speed up the recording by 50%. I've tried updating alsa and other suggestions which I could figure out, and run the scripts for diagnostic information. BTW, I'm using a headset plugged in to standard 1/8 inch mic and speaker jacks, not a USB headset.

However, there are a few issues that i need to know if there's any way to solve them, before making the transition: Keyboard keys are swapped; I mean, if I press alt+(anyNumber) I get another character. Why does this happen?-I develop a lot of code in VBA; I tried to record a macro using Open Office Calc, but I got the impression that the code used in the recorded macro is slightly different.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to record using a microphone on a machine running Fedora 14. The microphone itself seems to work fine when plugged into a Windows laptop, and the Linux machine is able to play sound just fine. However, although I can record using the microphone (using arecord or audacity, for example), the recorded audio is super, super quiet. I have run alsamixer, and experimented with every capture source. Anything which had any effect (using arecord -vv to see the dynamic sound level) has been turned up to 100%. Still, recorded audio is barely audible.
I have run:
yum reinstall alsa-utils alsa-plugins-pulseaudio alsa-tools-firmware alsa-firmware alsa-lib
But that made no difference. I ran alsa-info, and the output is here: [URL]. Why my recorded sound is barely audible? My next step is probably going to be to boot to Ubuntu, just to see if it has the same problem.
I am having some problems with recording with my laptop. When I try to record something through the laptops mic, usb webcam mic or with desktop recorders audio record feature all playback is too fast (sounds a bit like alvin and the chipmunks :L ) Is anybody else having this problem, or even better know how to fix it ?
Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm running 10.10 and had never tried recording before I upgraded to 10.04. I had the same problem in 10.04 though.
I've dled some CDs. Each one is a single FLAC wich i can play, But surely i should be able to access individual pieces recorded on the CDs?.

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy wife is taking an online language course that requires Windows in order to record and playback speech (for pronunciation training). I decided the easiest thing to do would be to clone a VM I use on my machine for tasks that can only be accomplished in a Windows environment. I did so, and successfully installed the speech recognition utility on the Windows guest VM. Unfortunately, although the microphone works just fine--I can hear my voice in the headphones--no sound is recorded by the speech recognition utility. Just to be clear, the microphone is fully functional under GNU/Linux. My wife has been using Skype without any issues at all. That is, Skype used to work. Somewhere during the course of trying to resolve the voice recording problem I managed to break Skype. I have no idea how.
It's a long story, but I'll try to be as brief as possible. When I could not get the VM solution to work properly, I thought maybe the problem was with the VM, so I checked the original copy on my own machine. No problem there. Windows sees and hears the microphone just fine (using the testing utility under sound configuration). So how is it possible that the microphone doesn't work in the cloned VM image? Before you stop me, allow me to note that both machines have identical motherboards, and both are configured to use the onboard sound. Sound works on the Linux host and the Windows guest VM. Both sound and microphone work in the original VM image on my machine, but only sound works in the cloned VM on my wife's machine.
If you've followed me down the rabbit hole this far, please continue with me a bit further as things get stranger and stranger. After triple checking all the setting in KMix (I'm running Squeeze/KDE on both machines) to be sure they were identical, I noted that I was unable to view/add/enable the "channel" option on my wife's machine. Why, I have no idea. As I said, the machines are identical as can be both regarding hardware and software. Out of desperation, I decided to set up an account for my wife on my machine. I created her account, made sure she had the necessary audio permissions, then cloned my VM to her account. Same problem.
I would love for someone to point out what I'm missing here. Same hardware, identical VM (clone), same permissions, same sound configurations in KMix and under the Windows guest VM. How is it possible for the microphone to work for me, but not for my wife? Is there some mystery configuration file somewhere that has magically been altered for her account alone? The worst part about this entire process is that I've broken my wife's Skype, which is a big deal seeing as we live in a tiny country in the heart of Africa and cell phone communications are very expensive.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to record video off my webcam, and tried two different programs - cheese and wxcam.
I honestly didn't have much luck with cheese - it seemed to work fine, but when it came time to record video, the frame rate dropped to a ridiculous level, making the video completely unusable. I could wave my arm in front of the camera, and it might pick up one frame of that.
Moving on, I tried wxcam, which I like a lot.. however, when I record video with the xvid compression, they play back considerably faster than they were recorded.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to learn how to record my guitar parts onto Audacity using my Pod XT.I've always used Audacity to do my audio recordings since its much more user friendly than Ardour and just as capable IMO.However, I cannot get Audacity to work with the Pod.I downloaded the "line6-usb-source" using apt-get.Ubuntu seems to recognize the Pod and get a signal just fine (when I go to "Sound Preferences" it allows me to select the Pod XT as input hardware and even shows an incoming signal).When I go to Audacity's preferences,it allows me to select the Pod as the "Recording Device", however when I go to record it gives me an error saying to check the Project Sample Rate.
Does the Pod not output at 44100 Hz?Is there a way to change the sample rate the Pod puts out?Is there another setting in Audacity I need to adjust?I do not want to wine or emulate anything.I feel I shouldn't have to use a specific audio recording software to use a piece of a hardware I paid good money for.
Trying to edit some mp3's and join them together using Audacity 1.3.9 but when I try to export I get this "edit metadata" window??? I have all the libraries I believe (Lame, ffmpeg, etc.) with the right versions (I think). Running Ubuntu 9.10.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe previous install went down the drain because the harddrive failed. So: a new install. Due to some limitations, this is the setup (it is for a hobby, nothing pro) P4 with Debian 5, Alsa and OSS installed, Audacity (I know, Ardour, but that thing had the same issues) and a soundblaster as in/out. On the in-plug, there is a mixer panel, there are some synths hooked up. The out goes to PC speakers.
Yea, I know, nothing fancy, but...when I play, I can hear everyhting tru the speakers at pretty good quality. Given that my synth makes some white noise itself, but that's besides the point... So, I hit the record, play and hear everything crystal clear, then I rewind and hit record to record the next track and the previous track has a lot of distortion... Same with the previous setup: Jack and Ardour on a Debian 6... By the way, yes, I do have a LynxOne lying around, but I cant get the drivers...they're not free, unless I missed something...
Slackware 12.0 I have installed only CDs one and two of the set of slack 12.0 CDs. According to Slack, it's all I need to make the system work. Now I've done
Code:
bash-3.1$ locate -i audacity
/usr/share/icons/mono/scalable/apps/audacity.svgz
/usr/share/apps/kappfinder/apps/Multimedia/audacity.desktop
bash-3.1$
and I am wondering where these two files can have come from. I get the same output if I run locate as root. May be the whole audacity package is somewhere in the rest of the disk set. But I have no way to find out, except downloading them one by one and reading throu the PACKAGES.TXT files. Unfortunately, the slackware.org no longer supports its package browser.
EDIT: there is only one PACKAGES.TXT file in the distro, and it is on disc 1. And audacity is nowhere mentioned in it. Corollary: My slack distro does not include audacity. But then, what are those two files doing in my system?
