I hope that someone else has some ideas because I have had your problem and have also had limited success at recording. pben On Thursday 13 February 2003 11:05 pm, Dave Barton wrote:

If you are using KDE I found that the aRts sound server has to be killed.
Goto Control Center->Sound->Sound Server->General turn off the Start aRts soundserver on KDE startup. aRts works great for playing but screws the pooch on recording.

Thanks Paul, that seems to be part of the solution. I have managed to play back a small sample recording with reasonable (to my tone-deaf ear) quality. But having played that sample, when I go back to make another recording I get a "/dev/dsp: Device or resource busy" error from the recording program.
