Hello,
(I'm not getting very far with the Ardour or LAD lists on this one, so I
thought I'd give this list a shot.)
I'm using Ardour on SuSE 8.1 (the version that comes with SuSE, not CVS).
I have a Creatoive SoundBlaster Platinum, with the original edition of the
LiveDrive (No IR). Using alsa 0.9.x that also came with SuSE.
Inside Ardour, I can record from the sound card's microphone just fine. By
setting "Capture" to the line-in (on the PCI card) with alsamixer, I can then
record from the PCI card's line-in just fine, without changing any settings
in Ardour. I might point out that I am using headphones connected to the
LiveDrive, and not using external speakers at all.
So, I thought I could just set LiveDrive-Line-In to "Capture" in alsamixer
and get going. When I do that, I can hear my guitar in my headphones just
fine, just like I can with the line-in or mic-in. However, no sound gets
recorded.
I am not sure what this means. Ardour/Jack has to be listening to alsa
somehow, or I wouldn't be able to shift between mic-in and line-in with
alsamixer.
Why, then, does moving alsamixer over to the LiveDrive's line-in produce
silence in ardor?
Remember, the LiveDrive's not silent in the system, as I can hear it in
through the headphones and speakers jsut fine. It's just that Ardour doens't
record it.
Any ideas?
I have a feeling it's got somethign to do with alsa mixer, because I"ve
noticved this strange effect that i"ll atttpempt to describe:
If I have mic set to capture, I can hear myself saying "test test" through
my mic. Fine.
Then if I set Line In to capture, I can't hear the mic anymore ("capture"
selection is automaticlly taken off of Mic), and can hear my guitar through
line in. Also fine.
However, If I set capture on the LiveDrive line in, it selects it
_in_addition_ to whatever was previously selected (mic, line-ine)
and there's no way to unselect the other as a record source
(I hear the Live_Drive in through the headphones anyway, but I can't record
from it)
Does anyone out there use a LiveDrive with ardour?
Thanks!
JW
