Hi! Although ALSA seems to be set up fine here (playback is working flawlessly, see below for setup details), recording does not work. arecord does not record silence but simply blocks after writing the file header: $ arecord -f cd test.wav Recording WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo (CTRL-C after a while) Aborted by signal break... $ ls -lh test.wav -rw-r--r-- 1 user user 44 2006-12-12 16:46 test.wav I also tried some arecord options (other sample formats or devices) without success. Any hints? Regards $ strace asound -f cd test.wav [...] open("test.wav", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 6 write(6, "RIFF$\0\0\200WAVE", 12) = 12 write(6, "fmt \20\0\0\0", 8) = 8 write(6, "\1\0\2\0D\254\0\0\20\261\2\0\4\0\20\0", 16) = 16 write(6, "data\0\0\0\200", 8) = 8 ioctl(4, 0x4122, 0xb7fa42f9) = 0 ioctl(5, 0x54a0, 0xb7ebd000) = 0 gettimeofday({1165938569, 215445}, NULL) = 0 poll( <-- hangs here $ cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.11rc4 (Wed Mar 22 10:27:24 2006 UTC). $ uname -a Linux 2.6.17.11 #1 PREEMPT Thu Aug 31 17:43:20 CEST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux $ lspci -v 00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
