I have 2 soundcard - a M/B built in Intel AC97 and an old Aureal (later SoundBlaster). This is because there's a problem with Intel's microphone in XP. So I use Intel for playback and Aureal for recording.
Now, how do I duplicate same setup in Suse (to avoid switching plugs) ? I am a bit lost in where to specify hardware to be used for recording and playback.
I've just bought a very cheap USB sound device as the jacks built into my laptop are practically dead. I bought it as I'd googled around and seen that other people have it working in linux. Anyway, I plug it in and am able to select "USB AUDIO (ALSA)" from the xfce4-mixer. However, I don't get any sound from any applications.
Here is my aplay -l output:
Code:

I can't find any options for the output on alsamixer and don't really know what to do. I'm running Mint with xfce4 on a Dell Studio 15.
I got the lame mp3 encoder and ran $ arecord -f cd -t raw | lame -x -r - out.p3
What are the values for these letters? Does cd pertain to the directory where it's recording? and once I start recording how do I stop?
Using CentOS 5 on a Toshiba laptop with an Edirol UA-4fx USB audio capture external sound card. I would like to be able to record internet radio and also record live sound from the USB card. The sound card that comes with the laptop is really bad.
I listen to the output from internet radio though the earphone jack on the USB card and the sound is really nice. I can record in Vista by running a line from the earphone jack on the USB card to the laptop mic jack and selecting "mic" as input in Audacity. The "mic" setting does not show up in Audacity in CentOS.
I tired Krec but do not see any input from the USB card, even though there is very nice sound great thought the card earphone jack. I do not understand the sound archetecture and would love to find a good "linux sound archetecture for dummies" article. Meanwhile can you suggest a simple way to record output from the USB card in CentOS?
I was, untill very recently, using ubuntu 10.10, and have just upgraded. In Ubuntu 10.10, I was easily able to record sound from my sound card in audacity. For whatever reason, since upgrading I have been unable to do so. I have no problem recording sound from my laptop's microphone, but can't seem to find an option to record from the sound card. I believe it's the same version of Audacity, so all I can assume is that it's an Ubuntu issue.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running Fedora 15 XFCE spin, Audacity 1.3.13-beta and my sound is ALSA/Pulseaudio (I'm not totally sure what these are anyway, are they drivers?) Anyway, when I'm in Audacity and I go to the record options I can choose from default, pulse, and HDA ATI SB:ALC268 Analog (hw:0,0). If I try any of these three options and press record I get static. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like to press record for each of the three options in order.

The last option won't even record nothing, it just doesn't work. Also, if you look where the little picture of the microphone is, the option to drag the input volume is greyed out.
I want to be able to record the sounds coming through my soundcard with Audacity. How would i go about doing this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wish to record what I hear, and hear it through the speakers at the same time. Doesn't sound to unreasonable.
I first of had problems getting it to record anything at all, so threads here and here helped.
The problem I have is I can only switch between having playback/volume/output through the speakers AND no feed/volume to the recording process, OR the recording process has a audio source but I cannot hear it!
Im sure I had it working so it played out the speakers and recorded briefly, but dont know what I've done!
I installed many audio type packages along the way to getting it to record at all. I dont know what I need and dont.
I am trying to record audio playback from an application and the microphone at the same time on recordmydesktop using pulse audio. I just can't figure out how to mix them both. I have tried a lot already and can only get either the mic or the audio playback to be recorded, not both. Can this be done using pavucontroll?
I have been search now for hours to find a solution (also here on the forum) for this and getting really frustrated now. Maybe i'm just missing something really obvious, so sorry if this is a stupid question.
I need to know how to setup Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit to record what's called the "stereo" and "mono" mix popular in Windows where it records anything playing out of the speakers. The goal is to play the microphone through the speakers at the same time background music is playing and thus record both. I also need to know how to play the microphone through the speakers.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. Both playback and record were working using only ALSA. Karmic installed PulseAudio. Looking around the forums I found a post on how to update to the latest ALSA driver (+ lib + utils) and remove pulse to take it out of the equation. With or without pulse I cannot get record working. For work I need to use my laptop as a softphone. I've tested my headset on another machine - headphones and mic both work. Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

New install of 11.2 with KDE 4.I have two soundcards in my system, one on the motherboard and a soundblaster. I multiboot and all FIVE other images, including SUSE 10.1 with KDE 3, use the soundblaster so that is where the speakers are plugged in. 11.2 insists on configuring the motherboard sound card for KDE, even when I do a fresh install setting the soundblaster as the primary sound card at installation time or when I remove the motherboard sound card from the configuration after installation. KDE 4 never even lists the soundblaster as a known card. Any way to fix or work around this restriction?
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy sound stopped working! (after a fresh install, explained below)I just installed the latest release of openSuse. Right after installing, I ran the updates tool and got all recommended updates. All fine.I then installed my ATI catalyst drivers. Rebooted a couple of times. All fine.Everything was working 100% (including sound), I then rebooted, now something is wrong.Now my sound is not working, I right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar, and to my surprise my soundcard is not listed like it was just before. It used to show up as an X-fi card, which was correct.
In Yast, I go to sound, and in the hardware section, there is nothing there, my soundcard is not listed. I tried to add a soundcard in Yast, (creative xfi) but it wont install, I get some IRQ error.I'm all out of ideas. I'm a new to using linux, but I know my way around the console.I have trolled through the internet for hours to no avail
Recently I installed a new soundcard to my computer, and I don't have any sound anymore in Linux. Now I have in YaST two sound chips, one AC97 and my soundcard Asus Xonar Essence STX. Obviously Linux detected my soundcard since the custom driver called "Virtuoso" is there. However, my soundchip has still the slot 0, and my soundcard is not configured yet. And here I'm stuck, because:
1. when I tried to delete the AC97 entry, YaST hangs (actually y2base or something like that, the sound subprogram). Alternatively, I tried to just disable the driver, but this wasn't possible (unlike with Windows, where you just click a checkbox).
2. when I tried to configure my new soundcard, the configuration program got stuck again - with every of the three alternatives (fast setup, normal setup and custom setup or so).
I also tried whether the old soundchip is still working, plugging in my headphone into the output of the AC97 soundchip, but I didn't hear anything, so system sound really seems to be broken.
I have the problem that for working properly my soundcard needs sort of re-initialisation after every reboot (11.3, 64 bit). I have to change a setting in the sound module of yast that causes the yast to rerun its final steps. What is not working otherwise is audio playback from a usb TV-stick (recording is no problem, same as playing an audio/video file). any idea what might be the problem? how to call the final steps of the sound module of yast from the command line, I could at least put that call into boot.local to avoid having to call yast.

I previously posted about noob attempts with Google Earth Problems with Google Earth - openSUSE Forums and discovered my setup 3Ghz Intel p4 i386 with RADEON X300(PCIE) and RADEON X300SE as shown in YaST Hardware Information may not be compatible with linux/opensuse. I've attempted some of the suggestions and either I've had difficulties following instructions (noob alert!) or the solution didn't work for another reason. any offers on improving online playback, in particular; should I get a new graphics card, what would be my best option with limited funds (<50) when I want to be able to watch streams online smoothly but not play games/edit video. Efficient rather than powerful?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with playback in Amarok 2.3 on openSUSE 11.3. When using xine, Amarok will playback songs very quickly, probably something like 3X-4X faster than it should be. There is also no audio output when it does this. Using gstreamer it plays back at normal speed, but also without audio output. I've done some searching for this problem, but haven't found anything helpful. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I'm looking to find a way to ensure that what I'm hearing from my computer is Bit Perfect, and can also play 24/96khz files.
Audio on Linux has always confused me, so I'm not entirely sure where to start. So if we were to say I'd be starting from a fresh install of OpenSUSE 11.3, where would I have to go to achieve my goal with an M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 Sound Card (ICE1712 Chipset)?
I installed opensuse 11.3 KDE for the first time last week. Amarok works fine with mp3 files. Also I installed VLC and kaffiene with all available codecs but unfortunately I have no sound in my avi movies. I can not know what is the reason although it was working fine in windows.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have read several guides about setting up a DNS server using Yast, now I am confuse, some guides use hostname in mx records and ns records, other guides uses alias, with the respective A record not been the hostname but and alias, Now, I have a DNS server with the hostname server01 with the ip address 192.168.0.10 and a router with the address 192.168.0.1, this server is also the mail server, how will be registered the NS record, and MX record and the A record in yast for this server?
I was thinking in ns record as
server01
MX record
server01 with the value of 0
and an A record
server01 A 192.168.10
KDE ships with the Dragon player for video playback. Trying it many times I still find it hard to use with clunky interface and playback problems, and I go back to MPlayer. How many in openSuse community use Dragon player?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just finished trying to install the codecs for various audio/video playback (Restricted Formats/11.2 - openSUSE - Community) and now I can play flash, mp3s and such but most of the video playback is very jittery and is not watchable. I have now tried it with mplayer and kaffine but still the same. I had this problem before as well and even tried VLC but no luck. I had thought I could just add the Nvidia repository and type in my graphics card, install and be done with it but no such luck (nothing even comes up when I type geforce).
