People, I can use xine etc to play audio and video files happily but I have had limited success trying to record audio from the microphone. At one point I could hear sound from the microphone coming out of the speakers and after juggling krec, kmix and the audio manager was able to play a file using kaboodle and record it using krec but I have not been able to record to file directly from the microphone eg using: strace arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D copy foobar.wav it is hanging on: unlink("foobar.wav") = 0 open("foobar.wav", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 3 write(3, "RIFF\304\352\32\0WAVE", 12) = 12 write(3, "fmt \20\0\0\0", 8) = 8 write(3, "\1\0\2\0D\254\0\0\20\261\2\0\4\0\20\0", 16) = 16 write(3, "data\240\352\32\0", 8) = 8 ioctl(4, 0x4142, 0) = 0 poll( no matter how I use amixer to set the source. I have uploaded the ALSA data to: http://pastebin.ca/903687 If anyone could help me get this working it would be much appreciated! I would like to start using various audio apps including music software and VOIP stuff. Thanks in advance.
