I was trying to do some basic mic recording last
night, and I was
having strange problems. My sound card is a turtle beach santa cruz
using the snd-cs46xx module.
Audacity had no trouble recording - sounded fine. Timemachine on the
other hand experienced horrible hissing. I tried every conceivable
mixer level/muting/gain combination I could think of and always got
the awful hiss.
Just a hunch: Timemachine's default recording format is
WAVE_FORMAT_IEEE_FLOAT. Try "timemachine -f wav" instead
(WAVE_FORMAT_PCM). Maybe your trouble is playback rather than
recording?
