RE: [linrad] WG: How to configure sound mixer

[conrad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

HI Guenter,

I am not entirely sure but it sounds like you are monitoring the inputs of
your soundcard .An easy way to check this is to see if you can hear any
audio without clicking in the waterfall window in Linrad. If you hear any
'unprocessed' sound then you may have the mixer configured incorrectly. Each
mixer has a facility for monitoring the inputs, which is very useful in
music applications, the name of this facility varies and I don't know what
it will be called in your instance. I have always found it better to run two
soundcards (even really cheap ones) and use OSS. It just seems so much less
painful that way. There is of course no reason why you can't just use one
soundcard, particularly if it is full duplex. My advice is get OSS and your
troubles will be over, I like Kohjin have never been able to get ALSA
running although I confess to becoming frustrated very quickly.

Good luck
