Greetings.
I would like to construct a dedicated system for recording five
discrete audio feeds (voice-quality) via the line-in jacks each of five
sound cards. Spent the weekend tinkering, but was never able to get
any Linux configuration to work fully with more than one card at a
time, despite each card working independently, and all five working
together under Windows.
Before I tear the remaining hairs out of my head, if anyone has
successfully implemented five (cheap) soundcards with Alsa, for
recording purposes, could you relate your chosen Linux distribution,
choice of card and any caveats?
Much obliged.
Mo.
There are all sorts of issues with your approach to the problem. PCI
transactions swapping between cards, different sampling clocks to name a
few.
It would be far better to purchase a single sound card with 5 or more
audio inputs on a single card.
You also fail to mention the particular sound card, so we cannot help
you any further.
