Hi, For as long as I've had this laptop, I've been having problems with applications requiring sound recording (ie. ekiga). I've gone through alsa-driver 1.0.13 and now am at 1.0.14, first with the drivers that came with Fedora 7, and now with the alsa packages that came with ATRpms (alsa-kmdl-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7-1.0.14-61.fc7). The system is a Gateway CX2724 with the following PCI info: lspci -vv -s 00:1b.0 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Gateway 2000 Unknown device 0281 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 21 Region 0: Memory at d8240000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=55mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Address: 0000000000000000 Data: 0000 Capabilities: [70] Express Unknown type IRQ 0 Device: Supported: MaxPayload 128 bytes, PhantFunc 0, ExtTag- Device: Latency L0s <64ns, L1 <1us Device: Errors: Correctable- Non-Fatal- Fatal- Unsupported- Device: RlxdOrd- ExtTag- PhantFunc- AuxPwr- NoSnoop+ Device: MaxPayload 128 bytes, MaxReadReq 128 bytes Link: Supported Speed unknown, Width x0, ASPM unknown, Port 0 Link: Latency L0s <64ns, L1 <1us Link: ASPM Disabled CommClk- ExtSynch- Link: Speed unknown, Width x0 When I try "arecord file.wav", I get nothing but a 44 byte file. I've no ~/.asoundrc file. When I tried the example in aplay(1) (using the provided .asoundrc): arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D copy foobar.wav will record foobar.wav as a 10-second, CD-quality wave file, using the PCM "copy" (which might be defined in the user’s .asoundrc file as: pcm.copy { type plug slave { pcm hw } route_policy copy } I get: $ arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D copy foobar.wav Recording WAVE 'foobar.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo arecord: pcm_read:1346: read error: Input/output error Any help troubleshooting before I open a bug report? -- Richi Plana ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
