Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-sound@vger.kernel.org Hi... I've got the SB PCI512, which uses the same chipset as the Live!, and I've got the same problem. No matter what I do I am unable to record a thing. I don't think the support for the emu10k1 chip is quite up to speed yet, but... Which drivers are you using? If you're using OSS/Commercial drivers (like I am), you should write to 4front technologies and tell them. I've had some long talks with them , but they just keep gauranteeing me that the drivers work fine. You can get the address form their website: http://www.opensound.com If you're using the ones from Creative Labs themselves (via ALSA), well... I'v never gotten those to do anything for me... not even play audio. I just think our cards are a bit too new for Linux. 8^) peace, -Paco Jonathan Oppenheim wrote: > > i cannot record anything, although no trouble > hearing sound through both the mike and line in. > > no program seems to want to bother even trying to record. > > for example, SLAB, just sits there, with the counter stopped > at 0 after pushing the REC PAUSE and then the PLAY button. > I can hear myself play, but it makes no attempt to record any sound. > > Likewise, using kvoice, i push record, in the new greeting dialogue > box, and the new greeting message window just disappears, and that's it. > > i also try typing "dd bs=8k cound=4 sample.au" > > this creates the file sample.au but the file is empty > (at least, i see nothing when i type "more sample.au" or "kedit > sample.au", but it must have something in it, because it is 32768 bytes > long) > > i have a soundblaster live! card, under mandrake 7.0 > when i configured the card (using sndconfig) it found > the card without any problem. > > perhaps an interupt problem?? > > any help would be appreciated. > > thanks, > jonathan
