I shall test-drive it, and see how well it reflects the problems I
had, and you fixed!

You'll probably need the 'next' page - which I've not written
yet! :-)

That will cover things like using aplay to investigate your card
playout devices and how to write a suitable .asoundrc to control and
direct output. Thought it best to start with alsamixer, etc, as it
means starting with a nice graphic display showing users what they
have.

However, first, I intend writing a magazine article. Needed a wepage
in place first so I could give a URL to point readers toward for more
specific data. Once the article is done I'll have a while to add
another page or two to the above, and then all will be findable by
someone who reads the magazine.

Slainte,

Jim


Having read the whole article now, one question:
Can I use the Mic Input on my laptop, which already has a built-in
Mic, as a Line Input, or is there going to be some horrid mis-match? I
have a tape deck nearby, and I would like to send its output into the
laptop, but it only has the Mic Input.
