Hello, Today, I got a bit curious, and wanted to get some sound from a computer which does not have any speakers at the moment. Mostly for fun, I thought about using arecord and then listening to the file.
I decided to have a look around the mixer, with no luck. I remember alsamixer showing an option to use the PCM mixer as a capture device, but this was with other, older cards (possibly an ESS Maestro or a Creative Enqsonic). Now, for this "Intel HDA" card, I don't see an option to select the card's own output as the input stream. >From what I see, I'd simply assume this means the new card does not have support for this in the hardware mixer, but I wonder whether I'm missing something obvious. The card is listed, in lspci, as Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation MCP72XE/MCP72P/MCP78U/MCP78S High Definition Audio (rev a1) And alsamixer lists it as Card: HDA NVidia Chip: Realtek ALC887 Any hints? -- Nuno Silva (aka njsg) http://njsg.sdf-eu.org/
