Dear ALSA developers, Ok, I fixed the previous problem; now running the latest kernel + latest modules (and alsa 0.9.4).
The REAL problem I have is the following: Recording has always been extremely hard to impossible with linux - one of the applications that I REALLY cannot get working is the speech recognition tool of IBM: ViaVoice. I downloaded the commercial sound drivers from Front4 and with that it works perfectly. In the past I've also got this to work with the OSS/Free stuff. However... with ALSA, it has never has worked; and I've tried a lot of things :(. I can't see this anymore being anything else but a bug in ALSA. The problem however is to find WHY it doesn't work (and then fix it). I'd like to get some guidance with that. My setup is as follows: 1) It works (recording speech with microphone) when using the Front4 commercial sound drivers. 2) With ALSA, playback works and I hear myself back over the speakers when I talk into the microphone. I even can let it 'sing around' by capturing Mic (of course) and turning on max. "AC97" and "Capture == Igain". Also "AC97 Capture" was set to the maximum. In fact, I turned EVERYTHING on to the maximum with alsamixer, unmuted everything and captured Mic [1]... No recording. I am willing to get to the bottom of this, but I am out of ideas right now :/ Please help. -- Carlo Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
