i'm afraid i don't even see a "Wave" item. i'm using gnome-mixer and alsamixer-gui. i am using "Line" for the input, but i also seem to need something called "ADC" selected for any capture to happen at all. but it always sounds horrendous. i don't know if all this is a separate issue from the latency issue or not. thanks --- LinuxMedia <linuxmedia4@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > i am experiencing the "system can't keep up" > messages > > like crazy, even recording a single first track. > > > > often when i speak into the microphone, what > comes out > > of the speakers sounds like it has a crazy chorus > > effect on it. > > > > i also wonder what the correct settings to use in > the > > alsamixer gui are. > > > > below is some system info gleaned from a modified > > shell script somebody posted on another list. > > I appoligize for not taking a close look at all the > info that you > carefully offered with your question.
