Software :: Disable Builtin Microphone In Audacity?
Nov 25, 2010
I am trying to record audio via line-in with audacity (iMac 7.1, ubuntu lucid, 2.6.31-11-rt, ALSA; I uninstalled pulseaudio) and I get input simultaneously from line-in and the builtin microphone. There does not seem to be any option to turn it off, and disabling mic in Alsamixer does not work. I don't think reinstalling pulse will solve this; other people on the net seem to have the same problem with audacity, but I did not find a solution.
I recently got my USB microphone working with Audacity under: Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u1 (2015-12-14) i686 GNU/Linux.What I'd like to do is use that same microphone at the following Google/Chrome link in order to convert speech to text (mostly for the purposes of automating my note-taking process.): url...But the the microphone is never recognized, so nothing happens.(And, BTW, the same microphone works fine on that same link/site when I'm using my Windoze box instead of the Linux machine.)
Here's further information: My mic (from lsusb) - Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0d8c:013c C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM108 Audio Controller
I've got a weird problem with my sound card config.
I usually use a USB webcam with a built-in mic that works fine when I select it in audacity and skype, but I have a soundcard too and I just wanted to check out another microphone I've got.
I plugged it in and played around with alsamixer and managed to get it so that I can hear it through the speakers, but I can't use it in audacity and skype.
There are 3 options (apart from the USB mic) in audacity, and all of them are dead silent. In skype there are even more options for the mic. Same problem.
Audacity has recording device choices of ALSA HDA Intel ALC882 Analog hw:0,0, hw:0,1 and hw:0,2
How can I get the microphone to appear in that list - or is it already one of those options but somehow not configured right? I can't figure out the Alsa config stuff despite reading several introductions to it. Probably too late at night for my brain.
Plus the last symptom - I broke the sound coming from a java app while fiddling with this setup. It used to give alerts and alarms quite frequently, but since yesterday it's been silent, with errors in the log like
"Error: Sound line is not available.javax.sound.sampled.LineUnavailableException: line with format PCM_UNSIGNED 11025.0 Hz, 8 bit, mono, 1 bytes/frame, not supported. "
I 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.
Whenever I compile Dreamcast games, I must source a certain .sh file before running make. I like to use the Netbeans IDE, so I must run these commands in a terminal
However, this forces me to run netbeans from the terminal when I'd like to run netbeans from a launcher or alt + f2. This method forces me to keep the terminal open when I run netbeans. The problem is, source is a shell builtin command and cannot be run from a launcher (as far as I know).
I'm trying to remember how to use the output of a nested Bash builtin call. So `which prog` gives me the path to the program, i'm interested in. Then I would like to get the directory path leading to that program and plug it into 'cd', so i end up in the directory containing the program.
I have installed SLES 10 SP2 but my network card is undetected. Model: Intel(R) 82567V-2 Gigabit Network I have the drivers for linux on my installation cd as:
So the title pretty much sums it up. She is running a pangolin performance which came with lucid while I am running a pangolin performance which came with karmic and i upgraded to lucid (bought before her). For some reason hulu always worked for me, so I was trying to fix it on her computer too, but somehow one of the commands I told her to run made her computer not be able to recognize that her built in webcam exists anymore.
The reason that this is so hard is that I don't remember which commands I told her to run, but one of them was the instructions from post #5 on this page: [URL]. But I don't know how messing with flash stuff could have possibly screwed up her computer detecting her webcam. The drivers are definitely installed for webcam, however when she 'locate uvcvideo' it tells her that permission is denied, so the problem might be that her computer isn't giving her the permission to access the webcam drivers to use the webcam, just an idea.
I"m running an online radio station and would like to run my headphone audio into my microphone or a virtual microphone, either way, I would like my audience to hear what I hear without having to hold the Mic to the speakers.
I'm unable to use my "builtin" forcedeth (nForce ethernet card) driver because it conflicts with some of my "builtin" ACPI features. Anybody know what that is so that I don't need to test?
Code: └┌(%:~)┌- dmesg |grep Force forcedeth: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.64.
Sceanrio: Childs homework requires the use of Audacity. Of course all other students working on the project with him have Windows. So I need mp3 supported with Audacity.Error message box, "you have compiled Audacity without mp3 support"Downloaded from: YAST with an additional plug-ins (I think).What I need: How do I add mp3 support, or compile it for Audacity?Does anyone have experience with this program? And have mp3 importing and playing within it also?
Trying to split a wavpack on Ubuntu 10.04. I tried: Code: cuebreakpoints Disk3.cue | shnsplit -o flac Disk3.wv It gives an error Code: shnsplit: warning: none of the builtin format modules handle input file: [Disk3.wv] shnsplit: error: cannot continue due to error(s) shown above I already have wavpack 4.60.1-1 installed. Any ideas why shnsplit complains about not seeing wavpack?
Im on XP and am trying to get a 9 min piece of music from a cassette on my music centre into audacity on my comp got the line from earphone socket into the blue socket at back of comp (there are 3 sockets in a line then 3 more below them in a line go the line in socket... blue top left. )
Im getting sound ok on the comp with radio, its playing vids etc well so I cant think anything is wrong with the sound card. Playing the cassette on my music centre should get the sound into the comp and into the comp speakers.... but I just cant get a peep
Can't export an mp3 file from Audacity because it can't find libmp3lame.so. I have:- clicked the Audacity Download button on the error window- installed lame using Synaptic- installed lame, liblame0, liblame-dev and libmp3lame0 using apt-getall as per various forum suggestions. Still can't find anything like libmp3lame.so or .so.0 on my (8.04) system.
i can't record with my mic anymore. I went to do so in audacity and i only get the noise it hears through the headphones. I am recording a second vocal track. The first track is the music. I looked at the alsamixer and the mic was originally muted and i unmuted. Should line be muted when i am using the mic? I also tried to record with the mic in sound recorder but got nothing there either.
I'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.
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?
I 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
The 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
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?
An Audacity build for Fedora 9 that has MP3 import and FFMpeg support built-in?
The one provided in Fedora-suggested repositories (audacity.i386 0:1.3.7-0.4.beta.fc9.2) is useless - has none of the above. One can't import MP3, WAV, OGG,... - nothing. The only option is to record and export to MP3 (with Lame).
To be honest, I can't understand why people are supplying such builds.
I understand it's quicker to build it from soruces in my case, but if anyone cares to replace the mentioned version with actually useful one, it could be a good deed.
I use Audacity quite a lot for conversion of a voice recorder, to convert WMA to FLACWhen I used it Mar 24 it worked, when used it Mar 26 it didn't.I used the locate pointed it to libavcodec.so.52 like it had there & it tells me it can't find it! At first I thought it was an update I'd done from the Packman reposonly when I went to Yast to revert only the most recent update was in there, no prior versions. Yet I Know that ffmpeg was among the updates it was blue when I did it then.Other distro's don't have this problem only Suse who or where or what should I do so that Audacity works in Suse again?
