Hey- A friend of mine is having some issues moving audio around a network. Me being not all that good at this stuff myself was at a loss as to how to help him. I was hoping somebody here may be able to offer some advice. Thanks! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Apr 9, 2007 6:58 PM Subject: Linux audio troubles. To: vitruvius@xxxxxxxxxxx I'm trying to move audio (from radios) between a desktop, which will be on the roof, and my laptop, which will be in the consuite. The idea is to take a signal coming in the desktop's mic jack and make it come out the laptop's speakers and vice versa. A while back, I got this pretty much working (there was a bit of lag) with something like bunsen@laptop# nc -l -p 4242 > /dev/dsp bunsen@desktop# nc -l -p 4243 > /dev/dsp bunsen@desktop# nc laptop.example.tld 4242 < /dev/dsp bunsen@laptop# nc desktop.example.tld 4243 < /dev/dsp That worked with my Thinkpad T41 and an old small form factor K6/2-450 desktop, both running Ubuntu. That desktop turned out to have some flaky hardware, so I switched to an old, normal-sized Duron 850 machine running Debian. Now when I try that, *wierd* shit happens. I had the two machines next to each other, network cards wired together. I ran those commands, and started making sounds into the laptop's microphone, while listening to headphones plugged into the desktop. I'd hear background noise, then a bit of whatever sound I'd recently made near the mic, looped a few times, then back to background noise. I dunno if this has something to do with configuration, drivers, hardware, or waving the dead chicken over the computer in the wrong pattern. If you know how to fix it, or know of a better way to move that sound across the network, I'd appreciate the advice.
