Hi all, I am trying to capture some audio from an osprey 230 card (using the snd-bt87x module), but it does not seem to work well. I tried a lot of linux kernel versions, and I am currently using 2.6.18-pre1 hoping that it includes the latest alsa drivers. Anyway, after modprobe snd-bt87x a card is detected (as card 1), but there are problems: 1) alsamixer -c 1 shows 3 inputs: "TV Tuner", "Mic/Line", and "FM", but the card does not have any tuner or radio device... 2) arecord -l says **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 1: Bt878 [Brooktree Bt878], device 0: Bt87x Digital [Bt87x Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Bt878 [Brooktree Bt878], device 1: Bt87x Analog [Bt87x Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 but it seems that the audio device is hw:1,0 (the output of arecord -l seems to indicate that it should be hw:1,1) - I have an audio source connected to the analog input of the card, and capturing from hw:1,1 only gives silence. Capturing from hw:1,0 gives some _very distorted_ audio. Changing the mixer setting with alsamixer does not change anything. 3) It seems that there is some problem with the captured audio rate: I capture about 122 seconds of audio with time arecord -v -Dhw:1,0 -c 2 -t wav -f S16_LE -r44100 test.wav (I used the "time" command to measure how long arecord ran befoure I stopped it), but the resulting test.wav is only 88 seconds long. Changing the audio rate with "-r" does not seem to fix the problem. I am pretty sure that the card is not broken, because the driver distributed by the manufacturer (a patched version of some old "btaudio") is able to correctly capture analog audio. So, my question is: is the problem with osprey230 known? Or did I do something wrong? If this is a problem in the alsa drivers, is someone already working on it? I have the card, and I can provide more info or do more tests Thanks, Luca P.S.: I tried to submit a bug using https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/login_page.php but when I try to register I get PROBLEMS SENDING MAIL TO: Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. -- _____________________________________________________________________________ Copy this in your signature, if you think it is important: N O W A R ! ! ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
