Well my problem is that playthrough has been enabled, and I don't want it to be (or I should say, I want to have control over it). I can't figure out where to turn this off/on. All of the obvious system control panels don't seem to have a setting for this. Using command line tools for ALSA, I don't see anything either. I wouldn't expect it to be turned on by default. I have been able to record audio in audacity, so samples are being passed up to the application. Now I have a weird situation where audacity says that the audio i/o system is unavailable. Playthrough is working... speaker-test works. Various audio players are able to play CD audio and open and play sounds files. Linux audio is a bit byzantine compared to what I'm used to... there appear to be several interacting layers, and control panels in various places. If anyone has suggestions or pointers to a good linux-audio-howto or getting started that explains all of this, I'd appreciate it. thanks, darren On Jan 3, 2005, at 6:47 PM, Christoph Eckert wrote: > > Well, playthrough can bei two things: > > * The soundcard's input gets immediately visible on it's > output, without going through your computer.
