Another data point: This suggests me that the problem might be in the way freebsd accesses the sound card. Apparently when it is recording it blocks any playback. I just tried this: [email protected]$ cat /dev/dsp1.0 > /dev/dsp0.0 ^C [email protected]$ and got the (recorded) sound in my speakers. And I ca...

Well that's another "fringe" element then. OSS isn't exactly unsupported in 1.3 but it's quite rare now. And I thought you (the Audacity team) was using PortAudio to get "Portable Cross-platform Audio I/O". I wasn't aware that generally, Audacity software playthrough did not work with external devi...

My point too is not that FreeBSD is a "toy" OS, but that it is a fringe OS that hardware manufacturers may not have taken into account when writing drivers. I see. Well, very few hardware manufacturers actually make drivers for FreeBSD (there are exceptions of course); most of the drivers are made ...

Does this USB gizmo support OS'es other than Windows? Linux and Mac OS X. Does the software that comes with the gizmo allow software playthrough? Yes, it does. Drum roll - the software delivered with this gizmo is ... Audacity! :-) It's possible you may have come across a variant of this bug: http:...

This suggests me that the problem might be in the way freebsd accesses the sound card. Apparently when it is recording it blocks any playback. Nice try - but no cigar (Seriously? What do you think FreeBSD is? A toy operating system?) Do you have some other app that uses the sound card? For example ...

Ok, you said on the first post that software playthrough is enabled... Yes. I have no knowledge of how the sound system works on freebsd, but should do it... Can't think of anything else... I agree - it should work, based on the documentation, googling and whatnot. But it doesn't work. :-/ That is ...

Let me see if I got this right... When you hit record you can successfully record what's coming in the line-in right? Yes. After recording is done, when you hit play, you can hear the recorded track, right? Yes. The thing is... you want to listen to what is coming in the line-in, while you are reco...

Can't you change that in the Device Toolbar? (or alternatively in "Edit menu > Preferences > Devices") I can change it, but to what? As I wrote, the correct device is already selected in preferences -> devices: pcm0 (shown as "/dev/dsp" in Audacity preferences, devices) is the internal sound card, ...

Hello, I am using Audacity 1.3.13 (FreeBSD ports: audacity-devel) under FreeBSD 8.2-stable. I have also tried Audacity 1.3.12 and Auacity 1.2.4b_9 (FreeBSD port: audacity), and all versions exhibit the same problem. FreeBSD version: [email protected]# uname -a FreeBSD kg-quiet.kg4.no 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD ...
