Recording sound on Suse10.0
Hi all. I've got a m4a sound file file that amorak plays ok. I wanted to convert this file to mp3 or wav. So I thought an easy way would be to play the file and use krec/krecorder or audacity and save the file recordered. However, trying input as mic, line, line1 etc, I get a file with no sound on it. Running suse 10.0 opensource, packman and guru sources available. amd2500, 512 mem, soundblaster 5.1. System uptodate. amorak using xine sound engine due to a recent update which removed helix and gstreamer. Peter C

Any chance you've still got the input muted? In KMix input devices you click on the LED to mute/unmute: useful for people with desk microphones. -- JDL

In answer to Adams question on hardware. Motherboard is a ASRock K7Upgrade-600. It does have a ac97 sound builtin but #I use a soundblaster live 5.1 card which suse recognizes and configures. The builtin sound is disabled. John, I've checked all sound mixer settings and I think all is ok. Getting and hearing sound is no problem but I still can't record it. I've got around this problem by playing the sound file on xmms and setting xmms to writting a wave file as it's output. Peter C
