Seems that I typed something wrong?! But man does not really provide more information than --help (at least in version 0.9.0rc7). :-( >>arecord -f S16_LE -r 48000 test.wav >> >>*but* this results in a mono file with too low signal level. > > You may have to set -c 2 as well to get stereo, this is not the default. Well, -f S16_LE -r 48000 -c 2 is identical to -f dat and actually also results in a mute file. > Alsio the hardware device maybe. In the meantime I checked modules.conf by the great c't article of Frank Barknecht. Everything seems to be okay there. But I could not find /etc/asoundrc or ~/.asoundrc. May be this is the reason for my problem - I am going to find out next. > As for low level - are you sure the DAT is correctly leveled?

Nevertheless I still can only record mono files with definitely much lower level than the input signal (which takes the full range of the envy24control meters). Moreover I found out that xmms and audiacity play it a bit faster and higher than the original data, even though I always use the DAT's master clock! :-( By the way: Does anybody know, what HardwareSettings -> VolumeChange means in envy24control?
