The following issue has been set as RELATED TO issue 0002307. ====================================================================== <https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=2076> ====================================================================== Reported By: jaime Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: ALSA - driver Issue ID: 2076 Category: PCI - cs46xx Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: new Distribution: Kernel Version: ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 04-26-2006 16:28 CEST Last Modified: 07-29-2006 16:34 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: arecord gives silence Description: IBM Thinkpad T21 with Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 01). alsamixer correctly mixes the inputs over to the line out (I can hear microphone in and line in successfully mixed) but arecord gives silence. I've tried using a usb soundcard on the same machine, and everything works fine there, so I think this is only the snd-cs46xx driver. I'm not sure what other info is useful - please let me know. Thank you. ====================================================================== Relationships ID Summary ---------------------------------------------------------------------- related to 0002307 I have sound but can't use a working mi... ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tiwai - 05-02-06 18:11 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure that you unmute/raise "ADC Volume". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jaime - 05-04-06 12:11 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Takashi. I've got it working by "toggling capture" (enabling recording) for the ADC channel (in addition to making sure that recording is enabled on both the Mic channel and the "Capture" channel). Seeing how alsaconf sets up the volume sliders and unmutes certain channels so that users can immediately get sound out of their machines, would it also be a good idea to make alsaconf set capture enabled on the ADC channel (and perhaps set the levels up a little) so that users can also immediately use software that needs audio capture? (I do realize that this can all be done using amixer or alsamixer, but I think one of the points of alsaconf is to set levels and so make users' lives a little easier). I've also got another qustion: with arecord -v -v -Dhw:0,0 -f cd test.wav I get a volume meter which works and the wave file is good. But when I use: arecord -v -v -f cd test.wav I just get: Recording WAVE... Plug PCM: Rate conversion PCM (48000, sformat=S16_LE) Its setup is... Slave: Direct Snoop PCM Its setup is... Hardware PCM Card 0 'Sound Fusion CS46xx' device 0 subdevice 0 Its setup is... and then everything stops. There's no volume meter (like previously) and the wav file is only 44 bytes long. Would you prefer me to put this new problem into a new bug report? Thank you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- atler - 05-08-06 12:14 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It also seems to be the case in this bugreport: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1822 Recording with 'arecord -v -v -Dhw:0,0 -f cd test.wav' works fine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond - 06-29-06 03:30 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cat /proc/asound/pcm Try the following test and post the output including the setup line output by arecord arecord -v -Dhw:0,0 -f cd test1.wav arecord -v -Dplughw:0,0 -f cd test2.wav arecord -v -f cd test3.wav ---------------------------------------------------------------------- atler - 06-29-06 09:08 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First two methods work fine, third one fails.
