Sound Blaster PCI 512: sound through the speakers, none to the applications
Other people have reported this behavior on this and the German multimedia list, but I haven't seen anyone post an answer that works. I've got SuSE 8.1 with a Creative Labs Soundblaster PCI 512. I checked by modules.conf file, and all the lines that the ALSA documentation say should be there were put there by YAST. I'm trying to record (using record or audacity or broadcast2000) from a cassette deck hooked to the the line-in input on my soundcard. Although I can *hear* the sound from my tapedeck fine through the speakers, no app seems to be able to get the sound. Nothing shows up on the meters, and if I save the files and play them, no sound is there. I am using alsamixergui, and have the line-in set as the recording input (with the little red "light" icons). Any suggestions?
Emery, Did you turn 'Capture' on? You need to do that in order to record. You'll find it in gamix.
