from following post it is clear that I am not alone: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=62710 I have found that this bug is actually in ALSA emu10k driver itself and not it alsa-utils, so this bug can be closed. The ALSA bug info: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1218 This will be fixed in FC4 after upgrade to 2.6.13 kernel according to: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.13 (this bug was fixed in alsa version 1.0.9b) I can duplicate this on FC 4 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4. /sbin/lspci: 00:0f.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!

Relevant config summary: FC4 Kernel 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 alsa-lib-devel-1.0.9rf-2.FC4 alsa-lib-1.0.9rf-2.FC4 alsa-utils-1.0.9rf-2.FC4 SB Live 5.1 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 still has this bug. I can hear myself also, but nothing gets recorded. playing sound is fine. You can check the latest kernel from devel (kernel-2.6.13-1.1582_FC5), it has alsa-driver-1.0.10rc1. It's here: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/ Thanks, but I will rather stay with my current kernel and wait for the 2.6.14 (or 2.6.13 with ALSA
1.0.10rc1) to be released for FC4, because of:

I'm afraid 1.0.10 will never go to FC4...we don't update alsa-drivers in released distros. Oh well.. Maybe I will try to install one of the FC5 test releases. Thanks for the info. I tried to install and it failed, I tried to compile and it failed. So let me get this straight, I need to upgrade to FC 5 when FC 5 comes out to get my sound recording back? I guess I should have stayed with FC2 cause it worked then :-( Hi all! This issue can be solved by modifying accordingly /etc/modprobe.conf. The Stentz release of FC4 added snd-card-0, then added snd-emu10k1, then removed snd-emu10k1 with parameters, wich caused this "unable to record by I can hear myself" error. Details at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=381506#post381506 Merci! Vincent de Grandpré Montréal, Québec First I comment out the two lines below in my modprobe.conf file, then rebooted.
#install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install sound-slot-0
&& { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
#remove sound-slot-0 { /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
:; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove sound-slot-0
Nothing seemed to change, so I went into my volume control and I had to go into
preferences and turn the capture device on. Then I saw it was mutted and
unmutted it. I can now record.
:-)
BTW: the 2.6.13-FC kernel I finally got it to compile and it did not seem to
change anything. The above did work though.
This solution does not work for me, since I have no emu10k1-related entries in /etc/modrprobe.conf
I have been using on-board sound card, then installed Sound Blaster Live! so I had some leftover entries
in modprobe.conf. After commenting them out, my modprobe.conf now looks like this:
[techie@erazim ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf

No change after reboot with this config file - I am still not able to record.
Uncommenting the mentioned entries i /etc/modprobe.conf doesn't solve the problem for my system either - still can't record. And I have turned up the capture volume, unmuted it etc. my modprobe.conf looks like this:

Also make sure that capture has a volume set to it. In alsamixer, use the tab
to look at the capture settings, then use the right arrow key to move to see the
capture settings.
It works okay for me, but my mic is kinda crappy ;-).
In my message above, "Uncommenting" of course should have been "Commenting out". I've tried to use the sound card build in on my motherboard instead of the SB Live, and recording worked. I guess I'll have to wait for FC5, then... Same for me - recording works with onboard soundcard, but does not with SB Live. If you don't want to wait for FC5 which is due in some 4 months (according to http:// fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule/), you can use custom-built kernel with newer ALSA or use some of FC5 devel versions. It may be a on board sound card is conflicting with the SBLive card. IE: Interrupts, adresses, etc. No, this is not the case because: - I have switched off the on-board sound card in BIOS - ALSA folks have confirmed that the bug exists (see ALSA bug id somewhere in this 'thread') To summarize: This is well known problem in ALSA driver for SB Live (ALSA emu10k1 driver) which was fixed in recent versions of ALSA drivers (1.0.10). The only problem is that FC4 does not and will never incorporate ALSA 1.0.10 in their kernels. Some how-to for the latest alsa-driver and FC4 is here: http://people.redhat.com/stransky/alsa/ |
