Done.
Here's the failure that resulted:
Code: Select all
# usb-snd-audio
bash: usb-snd-audio: command not found
#
a. Went to "Menu > Setup > ALSA sound Wizard > Clicked on the "Multiple cards" button.
b. Completed a capture of the window = /root/capture15736.png
I will attempt to attach this file to this post.
3. "3. In ALSA Sound Wizard, select the analog device (maybe Card 0, Device 0) as default, then set the Master volume (and Headphone volume) to maximum. Test your headphone by issuing aplay /usr/share/audio/2barks wav (in terminal)"
a. Selected the 1st/top item listed, hw:0 now default, Retrovol set to use this card, OK'd this, issued aplay /usr/share/audio/2barks wav at a terminal command prompt, got failure:
Code: Select all
#aplay /usr/share/audio/2barks wav
/usr/share/audio/2barks: No such file or directory

4. "4. In ALSA Sound Wizard, select the analog device (maybe Card 2 or 3, Device 0) as default and set the Capture volume of your USB microphone. Test your mic using Menu > Multimedia > mhWaveEdit audio recorder/editor."
a. Selected item 2 [mid item] on the list, OK'd it, a new {I think?] dialog said "card 0" was now set as default = hw:0, OK'd that and got a Retrovol window, with both "Front mic" & "Rear mic" available.
b. So many other settings available also, like: Cannel=2ch/4ch/6ch, Capture, Capture1, Front mic boost, Rear mic boost, Input So > Front Mic=Front mic/Rear mic/Line; Input So.1 > Front Mic=Front mic/Rear mic/Line
There's a lot of "white noise" in the headphones only when I set Rear mic boost [RMB] to max [even with the hardware mic switch OFF, and there's no voice sound from mic even if I press/release hardware switch to ON and green light glows, just "white noise"],.
When I set Front mic boost [FMB] to max there's no change in "white noise, but when I set RMB to zero all white noise goes to zero [silence].
c. Selected item 3, OK'd it, new dialog showing "Card 1" "Default = hw:1", clicked OK, got new? Retrovol window with same settings as before.
c1. Clicked the "Front mic" box with FMB at max and got additional sound [sparking sound and buzz].
Sounded nasty so I minimized boost and all the extra nasty sound was silenced, leaving just the white noise as before.
I'll try to post a screenshot of the Retrovol window:
It's a pity that the Puppy forums place the latest screenshots above the earlier screenshots.
d. Just noticed I haven't tried mhWavedit, so will try that now.
d1. Tried to record some sound from mic, but when I click the Red "Record" button, I see no sign of it recording, and don't know where it's saving the resulting file [if any].
To explain further:
d2. "Start Recording" is faded out, and although there is an "Input levels" region, no levels are displayed
d3. Chose the "Low quality (mono)in the "Sample format" drop-down-box, and the whole window vanishes, thus I'm given no oportunity to actually record.
