ALSA - I need Line-Input recording with SB Audigy

outspoken · 05-21-2005, 10:53 PM

Hey, I've been battling with this card for about 3 hours now and I would like to watch some TV, but can't!

I've got a Pinnacle TV card running BTTV and I can get video and sound no problem through the card if I use the MIC Input on the Audigy card. But the audio sounds horrible and I want to use the Line-In for capture.

I've tried using the internal Line-In jack and the external and neither work. I checked amixer to see if Line has 'Capture' on it and it shows unter Line2, which I am assuming that is the same thing as Line but just the Capture volume management. I've searched the forums quite a bit and none of the solutions seem to work for me.

I have no /etc/asound.conf and no ~/.asoundrc but here are some output infos:
