Hi List, I want to record in 7200 frequency, 8bit, mono. Well the specs may seem strange but we have a HardWare which understands voice files only with these specs. I have 2.4.18-3 linux kernel. I have intel 810E chipset, with builtin audio card. lspci returns <lspci> Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA AC'97 Audio (rev 02) </lspci> I too have Sound Blaster Live. lspci returns <lspci> Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 08) Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! MIDI/Game Port </lspci> And we use xwave and soundstudio for recording. And i have intel audio card under alsa. Intel Audio Card: I could record properly in 16 bit, but when i record in 8 bit it gives lot of noise. I dont know from where it comes. Sound Blaster Live: I could record in given specs, but when i play back the bass gets increased. I mean it dosen't seem to be the same voice anymore. Can anybody help me. TIA. bye. uday. -- Reply To : perl -e 'print pack "H*","756b5f6369407961686f6f2e636f6d";' OR to the above 'From' Address
