A 10 second sample of the distortion im mp3 format is also available
here: http://athena.se.server.ic5.net/~johnm/tmp/distortion.mp3. It's
clearer than can the 28kbps streamed version.

Thanks!

Hey All,

While trying to record from the line in on a Vortex 2 card (either
directly to file, or while being shoutcasted by blackice) using the
aureal drivers in the ports, there is a lot of distortion. Almost like
there is a feedback loop somewhere within the mixer. I am using an
Aureal Vortex 2 card with FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE, and the latest version of
the aureal drivers.

My mixer settings are as follows:

Mixer vol      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer bass     is currently set to   0:0
Mixer treble   is currently set to   0:0
Mixer pcm      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer speaker  is currently set to   0:0
Mixer line     is currently set to  70:70
Mixer mic      is currently set to   0:0
Mixer cd       is currently set to   0:0
Mixer rec      is currently set to  35:35
Mixer ogain    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer line1    is currently set to   0:0
Mixer phin     is currently set to   0:0
Mixer video    is currently set to   0:0

"Line" is the only thing set up to record. Everything else is set to
playback.

You can listen to the stream here (56kbps) - http://213.80.36.207:9002/
using shoutcast, or if you need 28kbps - http://213.80.36.207:9000/. The
stream is a test stream, of a local radio station (Glasgow, Scotland).
The radio is plugged directly in to the sound card and has a good,
clean, strong input signal (but not strong enough to cause these
distortions - well within normal levels).

Traditionally, I'm a server admin. I admit I haven't really touched the
multimedia side of FreeBSD before, but this has become a requirement
recently.. So forgive me if I'm not sending important diagnostic
information etc in this email.. Or if I'm asking stupid questions..

I would appreciate any help a LOT!

Regards,
