Hello James,
thanks for your reply.
You could confirm it by trying to open the capture
device using a
simpler utility, such as arecord. If you get the same result, then you
have nicely excluded audacity from the problem, and identified the
kernel driver as likely cause.
The ice1712 is the module for my Terratec Phase88/Envy24 Chipset soundcard
which I successfully use all the time with any other audiosoftware on my
linux machine.
What I recommend ... check for a more recent kernel in
whatever
distribution you are using.
Hmm. Nothing available at the moment. It looks like they're working on a
openSuse 10.3 based JAD release but there is just a source available
that could
still be unstable.
rebuild the kernel ...
O.o .... now you said the three magic words that makes me get shivers
down my spine.
I use the JAD kernel-rt-2.6.19-5.i586 Thats all I can say.
Unfortunately, I haven't got any clue
about how to recompile/change/patch a kernel. :(
Best regards,
Sebastian.
