Thanks for the report, Erik, and congrats on your success in getting gnome-sound-recorder working on your system!<>On Mon, 2005-03-07 at 18:01 -0500, David Curry wrote:
It seems I was reading what I wanted to see rather than what was said. I was thinking that Erik Olsen, who also is unable to record sound, had an FC2 system where he actually has an FC3 system "with AW320 sound card."
I have finally found a solution to my problem. It turned out to be a
question of having the correct capture settings in alsamixer. For my
card see the solution in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169441
This will probably be true for most other cards.
Erik, same question. Care to share the name of your sound card driver?
I have tried several alsamixer settings, but have not realized any success thus far. Gnome-volume-control on my FC2 system seems a bit more involved than the mixer settings referenced in the bug #169441 report comments and trikes me as the mixer from hell. I'll give a few more settings a shot before trying the ATrpms that Steffen Kluge was kind enough to bring to our attention.
The sound chips in my system are on the mobo rather than on a detachable sound card. Gnome-volume-control displays slider and button settings on two tabs - one labeled VIA 8235 [Alsamixer] and one labeled Realtek ALC650E [OSS Mixer]. Alsamixer displays 33 sliders for 21 "functions" or channels, seven of which show record buttons. The OSS Mixer tab presents 18 sliders for 12 functions/channels, 8 of which have record buttons (on/off). If I ignore the OSS Mixer settings (mute them), I have no sound at all. Turning on all record options in both mixers does not work either.
