The ultimate goal is to covert old analog recordings to digital, sounds
easy enough and I figure I'll try the package "phonoripper"
(http://klappnase.zexxo.net/phonoripper/index.html).
My system as a 1/8 phono jack that is marked "line-in", connected the
line output of my (known working) source to this port and I get nothing,
of course I'm assuming I could turn up the volume of the capture port
and hear something. I would have thought I'd see a line-in tab or
something similar.
So I'm guessing that Fedora (this is core 6) is not properly recognizing
my audio chipset fully. The Motherboard is an Intel DG965RYCK and
according to Intel's docs the audio subsystem consists of an Intel
82801HB ICH8 and a Sigmatel STAC9227 audio codec.
Audio playback (e.g. mplayer output) seems to work fine, the audio
configurator does recognize the audio chipset properly as:
Vendor: Intel Corporation
Model: 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller
Module: snd-hda-intel
The PCM device shows 2 options, STAC92xx Analog or STAC92xx Digital. If
I choose digital I don't get any sound (not surprising I'm using all
analog audio devices) and analog works fine.
under the Gnome/GStreamer-based volume control I have two tabs,
playback which has only "volume" and one other tab, capture, this tab
shows "Digital-1" for the slider nothing else.
/etc/modprobe.conf (created at configure) shows the following:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=0
remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
: ; }; /sbin
/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
lastly an lsmod | grep snd shows the following:
snd_hda_intel 53725 4
snd_hda_codec 223681 1 snd_hda_intel
snd_seq_dummy 37317 0
snd_seq_oss 69953 0

soundcore 44769 4 snd
snd_page_alloc 44113 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
Ok, so what am I missing?
