Hello list, I am still trying to record using the mic. Haven't got there yet, but I am building character and learning stuff. Right now my pc is a glorified amplifier. I can hear the mic thru my earphones, and cannot get it to stop. I turn down the volume with aumix to avoid feedback. I can play wavs and mp3s just fine, but cannot record. I type: rec -d foo.wav -d means use the default input device, which should be the mic. linux replies: snd_pcm_open error: device or resource is busy Something is forcing a connection from mic to pcm to earphones. How can I find out what is doing that? After I reboot it's the same situation. I have sox and alsa-base on here. Running ubuntu kernel 2.6. I surely would appreciate any suggestions. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
