Hello list, Sorry for the abruptness of the subject line but I have REALLY HAD enough of this! I'm trying to get gramofile to work and I CANNOT! It starts file but will not "hear" any input from the sound card. I can hear it as I play the tape that I want to digitize but any application doesn't. I have disabled the arts server and even tried it with it running and no avail. The program wants a prgram called xmixer that SuSE did not package with the system. I found xmix but the program gramofile doesn't see it! It is not this hard in M$. What do I have to do to get this crap to work as designed? I'm using 8.1 and the sould card is a SB16. Any ideas will be appreciated. Meantime I'll be banging my head on the wall. -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, We just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
Dear Marshall, Are you using KDE? 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. Things to check: Does this sys make the KDE event sounds? Can you play an audio CD? Are the cables and plugs clean and reliably connected? To the right places? Have you read the Gramaphone documentation? Just basic stuff for sure but youknow that it is usually something very simple that solves most problems! PeterB On Saturday 07 December 2002 03:02 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.

Is anyone aware of any Linux Thinkpad discussion groups that are currently active?? Has anybody checked out the SuSE Laptop discussion group? The SuSE group I believe is in Deutsche-speak, or at least it was listed as such the last time I noticed it on the Suse.com website. Danke sein- Glenn

Does Gramofile give you the msg "/dev/dsp : Device or resource busy"? When under KDE and I do not use the artsdsp program. I just tried it under WindowMaker and still no go

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:

I have had no problem with gramofile, but for some reason have used `xmix` with it only. Of course anything else should not be using the soundcard. xmix let's you choose the source in a simple manner (line- mic or cd).

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately, it didn't help. It does not matter what mixer app I use. Still no go. Out of despiration, I tried audacity and it was able to record the Line in with no problems. I was wanting to use gramofile though :( -- Marshall "Nothing is impossible, We just do not have all the anwsers to make the impossible, possible."
