Motherboard: Asus A7N8X Deluxe (I think ac97 0SS i810_audio) I've recently started using my sound card to record stuff. I have a shell script that uses rawrec, sox, and lame that is called by the crontab to record radio shows I like that are on while I'm at school, and I also am using Audacity to digitize and de-noise cassette recording of myself and my Spanish vocabulary homework (so I can make mp3 CD's of that and learn while sleep and on the bus to school) Anyway - the input gain is easy to set in Audacity, but for my script - it has to be pre-set in the Volume Control utility. The problem is something (either rebooting or audacity when I record the tapes of myself) keeps jacking up the input gain, resulting in poor quality recordings of the radio show if I don't remember to check the setting before I leave for school. Is there a quick non interactive CLI way I can set the gain on line-in so that my shell script can set it to the proper level before it starts recording? Thanks.
