Dear Marshall, I've tried Gramofile, KRecord and wavrec on my 8.1 sys withh a Creative SB Live! 5+1 to no avail. They all seem t9o think /dev/dsp is busy or non-existant. I have audio coming in to the 'line-in' jack and I hear it on line- out; I can control it with KMix. The recording apps cannot find /dev/dsp. Perhaps one of the more MultiMedia savy types will lend a hand? PeterB On Saturday 07 December 2002 03:50 pm, Marshall Heartley wrote:

Are you using KDE?

Yes but it doesn't matter if you are referring to the arts server If so go to KDE Main menu select "Multimedia" and go down

the list to KMix, click it and look to see where all the volume sliders are; ry them out. If this does not help write back and we'll look a little deeper.

They are OK. I can hear the audio that I want to record from my audio speakers

Things to check:

...

Does this sys make the KDE event sounds? Yes Can you play an audio CD? Yes Are the cables and plugs clean and reliably connected? Yes To the right places? Yes Have you read the Gramaphone documentation? What little of it there is.

That is where I got the text that when you select mixer in the program, it wants to run xmixer that SuSE does not package.

Just basic stuff for sure but youknow that it is usually something very simple that solves most problems! So true!

I also tried with arts running to use the artsdsp to tell gramofile to use the arts server and that did not seem to help.
