Hello, I've done a fair amount of legwork to try to get recording working on my Etch machine. I'm using Alsa-based sound, and have successfully set up my microphone and recording with a locally-compiled Audacity (and even Windows programs like Ventrilo through Wine). I am using an ATI SB600 Azalia motherboard-integrated sound card.
However, I think I've got something set wrong in the mixer. When I am recording, anything playing in another program will get picked up by the audio capture (e.g. playing a background track in Audacious while trying to record a solo track through Audacity, the background track will show up in the recording). I can tell I'm not just picking up speaker sounds on the microphone, since this happens even with the speakers off. I tried disabling one of the two "capture" devices in alsamixer, but one of them has no effect and the other just kills all recording, both internal sounds and microphone. I suspect this is a stupid configuration issue that should be obvious, but I can't seem to find it. Has anyone had any problem like this, and have you resolved it? If so, how? Best, Jeff p.s. While I have the ears of any recording folks on this list, I've noticed a problem in my Audacity in that if I record, then play back, a track, when I next hit the record button, the program will just hang. Unfortunately I had to compile this audacity from source, because Alsa support isn't present in the packaged versions of Audacity. I suppose I should try recompiling, but if anyone has any other workarounds that they use to get Alsa-supported Audacity in Etch (or has alternative recording programs) I'm all ears. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
