"arecord -f -cd -t raw -vv /dev/null" shows the record level which is very helpful !
However, when I try: "arecord -c2 -f S24_3LE -t raw -vv /dev/null" on my VXPocket V2, all of the samples show as 0%. Is there a way to show the input level when using 24 bit samples ? Thanks, Scott. PS - While I was (stupidly) running as root, I somehow managed to wipe out my /dev/null device and make my system unbootable ... :( -- now fixed :) On Mon, 20 Oct 2003 17:39:46 +0200 (METDST) Clemens Ladisch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Chad Paavola wrote: > > Can anyone tell me a quick way to test capture with alsa? > > "arecord -f cd -d 10 test.wav" will record 10 seconds. > "arecord -f cd -t raw -vv /dev/null" will show the input level. > If you want to use 48 kHz instead of 44.1 kHz, use "-f dat". > > > HTH > Clemens > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by OSDN developer relations > Here's your chance to show off your extensive product knowledge > We want to know what you know.
