Just revisiting this again after close to 2 years - still experiencing the same. Loud static like sound. Tried a few CX23881 cards and it seems the same :( I'm doing: arecord -D hw:1,0 -f dat test.wav I tried it for all the CX8801 audio sources (8 chip DVR card), here are the output wav files and waveforms: http://itstar.co.uk/CX8801_Audio Any ideas at all?
