I have not read your previos post but yes, I record from my microphone input and line in inputs all the time-- put my records onto CDs, record live concerts and put them onto CD, use it as an oscilliscope for my Physics of Music course I teach, etc, etc. The sound cards I have are Onboard Intel 810, Via82xx, .. Anyway what was your question? I use the oss emulation of alsa, and one gotcha is that it is the PCM input which controls the volume of the sound, not the input volume slider of the sound source (eg microphone) on the mixer board (kmix, aumix,...) > > Thanks in advance for your help, > John > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 > Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration > See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
