Audacity, Pulseaudio & Recording

Post by Mark_in_Hollywood » Wed Oct 21, 2009 12:24 am

I have used Audacity for the first time today. I have connected a cassette tape deck into the Line input of my sound card. When I press play, I hear Kiri Te Kanawa singing through the computer.

I have Audacity set to Line:0 as the input. In Edit/Preferences/Audio I/O, on the Right side, under Recording it reads:

Device
ALSA: SiS SI7012: SiS SI7012 - MIC ADC ( . . .
[beyond the opening parenthesis, the text is unreadable]

Should I be telling Pulseaudio to Sink or Source Line0?

I've read this isn't working, but some of those posts are getting old. . .

This is Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope, ver. 9.04.

This morning, checking Audacity I am able to change the Recording signal to hw (hardware) from MIC. Now I can record. I could not do that yesterday.

Problem solved.

Thanks to the 4 folks who read my post.
