No input ALSA 1.0.14rc2 SUSE10.2

pdeman2 · 03-01-2007, 06:09 PM

Quite a while ago I had OpenSUSE 10.1 running on my laptop (Dell XPS M1210) and I was able to use the sound card perfectly. When I updated to 10.2 I lost the ability to use the line in. After reading about some issues with earlier versions of the ALSA driver, I updated to 1.0.14rc2, but I still have the same problem. I've played around with both Kmix and alsamixer and also with the permissions on the sound device files, but I can never seem to get it to work properly.

Here's the output from the aadebug script on the ALSA Wiki:

Have you tried using the alsaconf command? You'll still need to do some fine-tuning after that.

Yes, I have tried that, but still no input. I do get output fine though.

Sorry, no clue. Are you sure line-in is not simply disabled? If you right-click on the volume control item, you can cross out / activate certain functions as well as show items that are not shown by default. Have you done that as well?

Tried everything.

Weird. So you tried changing permissions on the audio devices already. Supposing you haven't changed too much yet, you could try adding yourself to the audio group instead. That way you would be absolutely sure that no file was overlooked. But that's all the advice I have left to offer I'm afraid.

That's how I'm setup right now. First I chmoded all sound devices 777, after that didn't work I just reverted back to the original permissions and added myself to the audio group, but still no input.

Bump......

Anyone????

I think I have the same problem as you. I have a Mandriva 2007.0 x86_64 system, and would like to use gramofile to record some old vinyl. I can't seem to get anything off of line-in. Other than line-in, the card (‎Indel ICH8 HD Audio DID) seems to work fine.

I'm not sure I can be of help other than to suffer with you, though --- I find the sound configuration stuff absolutely bewildering.

What are you using to test the line-in, by the way?

pdeman2 · 03-20-2007, 05:21 PM

Well, I'm glad to see that someone else is having the same issue.

I've tried all sorts of stuff. Originally I was going to use it with Skype, but I never got that to work. For testing I've tried KRecord and also just about everything suggested on the ALSA site.

I have been trying to use gramofile, but that does not seem to be compiled correctly for x86_64...

It's hard for me to tell what is going wrong, or if I have just had some switch set wrong. My last machine had this same problem --- it could record off the microphone input (I put my stereo's output into the microphone input to test), but could not get line in to work. Unfortunately, the sound recording off the microphone jack is very low quality...
