Hi,
I want to record the audio of a live stream video (youtube).
Everything I tried resulted in audio files with constant or
intermitted sine wave like sounds.
I am using pure alsa. I don't want pulseaudio and with jack
started firefoxs audio does not work.
How can I accomplish this recording task successfully ?
My setup:
GENTOO Linux
External USB audio DAC (FIIO Olympus 2)
No $HOME/.asoundrc
/etc/conf.d/alsasound:
# RESTORE_ON_START:
# Do you want to restore your mixer settings? If not, your cards will be
# muted.
# no - Do not restore state
# yes - Restore state
RESTORE_ON_START="yes"
# SAVE_ON_STOP:
# Do you want to save changes made to your mixer volumes when alsasound
# stops?
# no - Do not save state
# yes - Save state
SAVE_ON_STOP="yes"
