I'm trying to help someone with an Edirol UA-1EX usb soundcard. Using aplay, he can get sound output from the card, but no success in recording anything using the analog line-in rca connections on the card. About an hour ago I suggested the arecord line below, which I found on the alsa site. Link below. http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Edirol_UA-1EX arecord -r96000 -fS24_3LE -c2 -Dhw:2 ~/recording.wav Output from running the above arecord command below: <Dale, he says> Okay, with the switch to the advanced driver position: arecord -r96000 -fS24_3LE -c2 -Dhw:2 ~/recording.wav Recording WAVE '/root/recording.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian in 3bytes, Rate 96000 Hz, Stereo arecord: set_params:954: Sample format non available And fwiw, I tried several settings with Advanced Driver in the OFF position: arecord -r48000 -fS24_LE -c2 -Dhw:2 ~/recording.wav Recording WAVE '/root/recording.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo arecord: set_params:954: Sample format non available arecord -r48000 -fS24_LE -c2 -Dhw:2 ~/recording.wav Recording WAVE '/root/recording.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo arecord: set_params:954: Sample format non available arecord -r24000 -fS24_LE -c2 -Dhw:2 ~/recording.wav Recording WAVE '/root/recording.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian, Rate 24000 Hz, Stereo arecord: set_params:954: Sample format non available <end quote> He has 3 soundcards on the machine, as below. cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [CA0106 ]: CA0106 - CA0106 Audigy SE [SB0570] at 0xea00 irq 18 1 [SI7012 ]: ICH - SiS SI7012 SiS SI7012 with ALC655 at irq 18 2 [UA1EX ]: USB-Audio - UA-1EX EDIROL UA-1EX at usb-0000:00:03.1-1, full speed <Dale, he says> I have been able to play through card 2 with: aplay -D front:UA1EX DepecheMode-CatchingUpWithDepecheMode-side1.wav <Me> Has anyone any experience in using the Edirol UA-1EX usb soundcard, and is able to record analog sound with it? If so, how? A whole bunch of searching the LAU archives (only 12 months, as I'm on dialup), also the alsa-user archives for 2008, which only turned up one post with no replies, where someone wanted to get spdif output working on the UA-1EX, has left me stumped. Having never used a usb soundcard, I'm unaware of any problems with them, but would gratefull if anyone is using, or has tried the UA-1EX, and has been able to record to disk with it. Many thanks to those on the list who may be able to help.
