Hi, my rig is: Linux Distribution Puppy Linux Linux 2.6.25.16 [i686 arch] Basée Puppy 4.1.2 Un grand merci à Barry Kauler le génial créateur de Puppy, Kernel Information Kernel release: 2.6.25.16 Operating System: GNU/Linux Architecture: i686 Soundcards recognised by ALSA: 0 [I82801DBICH4 ]: ICH4 - Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Intel 82801DB-ICH4 with AD1981B at irq 17 the complete check report of my system generated running 'alsa-inf.sh' in a console has been uploaded on http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=736d5badccb955c83661cd41624ff6209823898b my question: I am newbie with alsa and sound applications on pc+linux; I manage to use Audacity for recording from the on-board intel soundcard; but it does not work: seems Audacity does not recognize nor connect to the soundcard (input device is given as /dev/dsp/ in the edit/preferences/ i/o options, and there is no other possible option. In the 'help/audio info' the audio input given as 'audio input number: 0; device nr: 0'. So I suspect there to be something wrong. Alsa-wizard configuration on the intel proposed card returns sounds on the speakers upon test. And I can listen to sounds from .mp3 files or listen to web-radios,as also audio cd's But I cannot record any. using the command "arecord -vv -fdat foo.wav" (without quotes !) I followed the "soundcard testing" and "recording" documented in tha Alsa home page. I got a foo.wav file with nothing to ear doing aplay foo.wav. Thanks for any help Cheers Charlie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
