Audacity does not record anything in my computer(iMac first generation 1998, built-in microphone,running Debian Linux 3.1 PPC).When I open Audacity,I receive the following warning: "There was an error initializing the Audio I/O layer.You will not be able to record or play any sound.". The pop-up menu where we choose Mic,CD,Line- in etc. for choosing the input device does not react. The interface works normally but the graph of the record is a horizontal blue line in the zero score of the vertical scale, in the audacity interface.(Logical) The program installs OK and nearly all the interface of the program works OK. In the Preferences dialog the recording device is shown as /dev/dsp. What can be wrong here?The computer devices (sound card,built-in microphone, etc.),or Debian3.1?
When Debian initializes I see: Setting up ALSA... All modules loaded. Ardour-gtk also does not work,it complains that it cannot connect to Jack,however Jack is installed with the Debian tool aptitude. Another question : Does Debian recognize external USB microphones?What brands? That´s the only way for my iMac to have high quality micros. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
