Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7 Version: 2.6.17-6 Severity: normal I've been using my SoundBlaster Live! Platinum 5.1 (with Live!Drive IR -- a front panel access with several inputs and outputs that fits in a 5-1/4" drive bay) for many years. Of course, it's never had all of its options working, since the routing of this input to that output and everything in between is rather complex. Now it seems that even recording sound on the normal line-in jack of the card is not functional when using ALSA's snd-emu10k1 driver. I can change the volume of the input and can hear "live" sound coming through, but I'm not able to record on that input. I've tried gnome-volume-control (aka gmix), alsamixergui, and aumix. None of them have gotten the card set up correctly. My main interest in having a functional recording capability is the fact that I run MythTV and have my TV capture card sending audio through the line-in jack. I also tried using the "sound-recorder" program to save a WAV file. I don't have a microphone handy, and I don't think I have an analog CD-ROM drive hooked up, so I don't know if all recording is broken, or if it's just the line-in jack. I've found that the OSS emu10k1 driver is still functional in this regard, so I'm using that for the time being. Also, I just noticed that the OSS driver is able to change the input gain when recording, something I've never been able to figure out with the ALSA driver. Unfortunately, the OSS driver doesn't route any sound to the headphone jack on the Live!Drive, which was my original reason for moving from the OSS drivers to ALSA a few years ago. There is (or was) a package of "emu-tools" that could allow users to play around with the audio routing, but I haven't seen any suitable ALSA replacement. I'll try to track it down, but I seem to recall that it was not in a usable state the last time I tried it. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (988, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (499, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7 depends on: ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.73c tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.2.2-3 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/abort-install-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/initrd-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.17-2-k7: false linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/really-run-bootloader-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/already-running-this-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.17-2-k7: false linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.17-2-k7: true -- Mike Hicks <hick0088@tc.umn.edu>
