(1) After -=-finally-=- getting ALSA to work on my system, whew, now I am having sound quality issues. No hardware was changed, wires, setups as far as how the hardware is set up, just ALSA vs the "default" installed sound from Knoppix.
I can play an audio cd through XMMS and hear a low clicking noise that runs about every five seconds. Both Audacity and ReZound have this problem: I can play a external (line) input device audio, it sounds fine, I hit record, it appears to have recorded fine, until I play the recorded sound back, or save the sound to disk and play it back through any player, I get noise -=- like a static sound -=- that accompanies any sound. When the sound is silent, so is the noise, but as the sound gets louder, so too does the noise. I have tried different volume levels, and same result. What is the big deal with ALSA, I didn't have any of these problems with the "default" sound in Knoppix. To further assist the "debugging" of this issue, I have done the following tests: While listening to Line, or Capture, through ALSA - which the audio sounds fine... I have recorded with the following programs: ReZound, Audacity, Sound-Recorder, and KRecorder. When playing back this same "recorded" sound, which, while I was recording, sounded fine, now plays in the following programs, with an associated noise: APlay, XMMS, ReZound, and Audacity. Considering that I have the SAME problem with a multituide of recording programs, and using different players for the WAV files - and STILL have noise, when a recording is being made, is not their, I think this goes deeper than a "program" issue, or hardware, I think it has something to do with ALSA, because I "never" had this problem with the default sound system, and KMix, through Arts inside Linux. Can someone please get my recording noiseless, I seriously need to do some business, and noise is one thing my customers (probably) will not tollerate. Thanks for any, and all, assistance in resolution, Casey ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
