Hello. I've installed all of the 0.9.0beta11 packages and I can't seem to record sound via the OSS compatible interface or the native ALSA tools. For example OSS things like
cat /dev/dsp > monkey ... ^C cat monkey > /dev/dsp don't work nor do ALSA things like arecord -f cd -d 3 monkey.wav aplay monkey.wav I've set the mixer record source correctly (tried CD/Line-In) and neither seem to work. I've tried setting mixer settings using an OSS program (KMix) and an ALSA program (AlsaMixer) with no success. The volume has been set to appropriate levels so I can hear the sounds being played thru my speakers. And yes, I've also set the PCM volume upon playback to an appropriate level. Playing sounds works just fine. XMMS, a CD player, xawtv, cat sound.au > /dev/audio and things like that all work. Well, except playing back the silent files I've recorded with ALSA ;-) I'm using a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz (yeah, sadly not fully supported) and here's the output from lsmod...

I'm not fully modularized, some stuff is still built into to kernel normally. The only other thing that I can think of that might possibly be useful is that my system has decided to put the USB interrupt on the same one as my sound card. Also, the reason I'm trying ALSA is because sometimes opening /dev/dsp with OSS for reading would sometimes seemingly randomly break. When opening it with read or read/write privileges would start to give me the "Device or resource busy" errors I could still write to it just fine. Write as in play audio, just not record. A reboot would always fix this until I opened it for recording when it was in a bad mood and wouldn't let me anymore. Ideas, anyone?
