If I remember terminology correctly, the thing you're searching for is MONITOR. Instead of setting rec source to mic, set it to line, and increase monitor level. Thanks for your assistance.. unfortunately, setting the mixer levels has not been enough to get a passthrough. Here is my mixer output: Mixer vol is currently set to 1:1 Mixer pcm is currently set to 45:45 Mixer line is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer rec is currently set to 75:75 Mixer igainis currently set to 100:100 Mixer ogainis currently set to 50:50 Mixer monitor is currently set to 100:100 Recording source: line I'm using wavplay(1) from the ports collection to record on line-in, and then I can play it back. On playback I can hear it just fine-- it mixes with other outputs on the PCM channel as I would expect. but when the line is "live" it is not being mixed into the output. The line level should be possible to set independently of the rec channel setting, so you should be able to pass through line anyway - at least, that has been the default ability of sound cards when they became available for PC. But well... this has been 10... 20... years ago, and nobody expects simple things to work as simple today as they did in the past. :-) Indeed, I wonder if it is a hardware capability problem, but I don't know how to try to answer that question. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Using ports and packages together (or, how do I get mod_php5 ? )
Hi, I'm running RELENG_8_2 and I've been using packages instead of ports for most things, because they're so much quicker. But certain packages aren't compiled the way I need them to be-- postfix had no TLS or SASL support, for example, so I built it from the port. However, that is beginning to lead to some dependency issues. When attempting to build php5 in order to obtain the apache module (see: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-March/195199.html ) Portinstall informs that libtool-2.2.10 (from the release package) is too old, that I need to upgrade to libtool 2.4 (which is available from the port). I'm concerned that, if I have some packages built from ports and some installed from the release, that the system will become unstable if things get too out of sync. Am I incorrect? i.e. should I just go ahead and install libtool 2.4 from the port? I don't see this discussed explicitly in the handbook.

Tape Drive -- broken?
I recently acquired an old IDE QIC/Travan tape drive (for free) and I'm trying to get it to work on FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE. I don't know for sure whether the unit is any good, but I would like to rule out operator error before I throw it away. Here's what happens: at boot time, the tape drive is detected as device ast0: /kernel: ast0: TAPE at ata1-slave PIO4 When I insert a brand-new 4/8GB tape and run 'mt -f /dev/ast0 status' as root I get the following output: Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: 0x01:X3.22-1983 512 bytes 800 none -available modes- 0:default variable 0none 1:default variable 0none 2:default variable 0none 3:default variable 0none - File Number: 0 Record Number: 0Residual Count 0 but I get the following message in /var/log/messages: /kernel: ast0: TEST_UNIT_READY - HARDWARE ERROR asc=0xf0 ascq=0x36 error=0x00 Similarly, if I run 'mt -f /dev/ast0 rewind', I get no output to the terminal but the following in the logs: /kernel: ast0: TEST_UNIT_READY - HARDWARE ERROR asc=0xf0 ascq=0x36 error=0x00 /kernel: ast0: REZERO - HARDWARE ERROR asc=0xf0 ascq=0x36 error=0x00 After either of these commands, if I run 'mt -f /dev/ast0 errstat' the terminal displays: mt: /dev/ast0: Inappropriate ioctl for device So, does this suggest the drive is fried, or am I doing something wrong? Google search shows that 'inappropriate' message popping up occasionally for all manner of devices on both Linux and BSD, but usually the hits are in the form of mailing list posts with few, if any, responses, and nothing that seems relevant to my situation. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, -Brandon ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
