Hi!
First Thanks for reading this post.
I have a Dell 8300. It has according to the Dell service tag Card, Multimedia, Audio, SB0243 (Audigy 2 Dell)
according to what my system hardware -PCI Devices- says:
Name: Creative Labs SB Audigy Class: Multimedia audio controller Domain: 0 Bus, Device, function: 2,2,0 Vendor: Creative Labs creative.com OEM Vendor: Creative Labs Device 1003 IRQ: 17 Latency: 64 Bus Master: Yes I/O Ports at: 0xdf00 - 0xdf40
And the hardware components whos it as a Audio Adapter : Audigy2 - Audigy 2 ZS [SB0353]
rather than SB0243
I had a version of Kubuntu installed Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy)
I could use audacity to record audio streams on my computer using audacity. But I had to use OSS. ALSA would not work.
Recently I did a fresh install of Jaunty but changed to Ubuntu from Kubuntu for better graphics, multimedia, look and feel, etc.
I have it set to use ALSA for sound. I can play MP3's, etc. on my computer, even in audacity. I can use my microphone in skype.
I can not record using either my microphone or streams using audacity.
I have tried using the alsamixer from terminal. I adjusted the settings to the max before getting buzz.
I have gone through every single possible setting in audacity using the audacity device toolbar.
I tried installing Ubuntu Studio to see if that could help. It didn't.
My sound preferences are set:
Sound Events: Sound playback: ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
Music and Movies Sound Playback: Autodetect
Audio Conferencing Sound Playback: Autodetect Sound Capture: ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
Default Mixer Tracks Device: Audigy 2 ZS(SB0353)
Note: In the drop down menu there is no option for SB0243.
I tried "Test" buttons and got sound on all sound playbacks, but did not get sound on "Sound Capture"
I also went to "Control Center" and clicked on "Multimedia Systems"
Under the Audio section Default Input Plugin: ALSA Device: ADC Capture/Standard PCM Playback Pipeline: alsasrc device="hw:0,0"
I tried changing the Device to "Default" the pipeline changed to : alsasrs
I tried testing the sound by clicking the sound button, and got no sound.
In Audacity, I tried setting it up to work under OSS, and could not record or play audio.
I set both input and output to OSS:/dev/dsp and now I get an error that says "Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate."
When I have Audacity set up to use ALSA for input and output, I can import MP3 and other audio files into audacity and play them. I just can not record anything.
I wanted to record streams I have on my MD player which can only record by playing through my computer and capturing the sound as it is being played. I also want to be able to record using the microphone, and record streams on my system.
Any ideas?
I am located in Jacksonville Fl.
Thanks in advance for any assistance or ideas you can provide.
So in a nutshell, I can hear sounds. I can play sounds. I can use my microhpone in skype. I just can not record anything.
