Prior to SuSE8.2 PE I have never attempted a 'record' operation, and now I am having problems. DAP seems to indicate that it is getting the signal, yet, unless it gives me sqare waves (which happened a couple times), it yields nothing; Krec does nothing --not even saving a file; qarecord does nothing --the counter stays at zero; audacity has been working the same as DAP. I discovered the mixer in DAP and set the output and all. The devices involved in DAP are /dev/dsp (which works) and /device/mixer. I am not having any luck getting aRts-control loaded. It was in the menu at one time --and loaded-- then it wasn't --and won't load. Not sure what is happening, there --but that's another story. If anyone can help me get this figured out, they will definitely have my appreciation! ...CH -- SuSE Is All U Need.
