Re: [Alsa-user] My record abilities are gone...

[Jason Jones]

Sorry...  I knew I would forget something.  I'm using a Soundblaster Audigy (not Audigy 2) Platinum EX, using the EMUK101 driver.

I'll see if I can find a copy of a .asoundrc on another linux box I've got...  see what I can find.  Thank you so much for the information, Clemens.

Is there anything specific I should put in the .asoundrc?

Which hardware/driver?

  

When I try to run the following command "arecord -d 10 -f dat -t wav -D
copy foobar.wav" I get the following output:

ALSA lib pcm.c:1954:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM copy
arecord: main:502: audio open error: No such file or directory
    

The "copy" pcm must be defined in your /etc/asound.conf or
~/.asoundrc.  Apparently, one of these files was overwritten/deleted.
