Hi BSD fans :) Right now I can send analog sound (from my mini-disc, stero, microphone, etc.) into my soundcard (Soundblaster ???) via the Line-in or mic port, and sure enough, the sound comes out very clear through the PC speakers attached to the output. I can open a variety of mixer applications (gmix, xmix, awemix, etc) and tinker with the sound. However, when I try to record the sound with programs like (audacity, grecord, etc.) I get nothing but high pitched squelching and ear-popping white noise. All these programs attempt to read of /dev/dsp, the bit-rates can be set to 8 or 16, and the sample rates can be set as well. But none of this seems to work. Any help??? Thanks so much! Chris. PS when I used Linux in the past, this attempt to record worked just fine. I've also noticed that a lot of people are coming up with some unique ideas of their own by piping info off of /dev/dsp to raw files and then doing some more magic to get the desired sounds. I'm not too savvy to this... yet... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Staskewicz http://www.ZyGob.com/cjs http://www.math.utah.edu/~cjs -------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
