This is an Kubuntu box.

I can use:

	arecord -fcd -Dhw:0,1 foo.wav

and record a sound just fine.  Then I try it with csound:

	csound -d -+rtaudio=alsa -i adc:hw:0,1

With this orchestra:

sr      = 44100
kr      = 1
nchnls  = 2

instr 1
        asigl, asigr    ins
                        outs    asigl, asigr

endin


And a dummy score:

f1 10

Csound gives me only silence of the correct duration in test.wav.
I tried removing my .asoundrc completely. arecord works, csound
gives silence.

Thanks,

Toby

Hi Toby,

Are you recording to disk or to dac?  I'm wondering if Csound is
rendering faster than realtime when rendering to disk and therefore
not getting any sound for you.  Could you try adding -o dac to see if
any sound is played out speakers?

Hi.

I actually started out trying to play to dac.  I didn't hear
anything, so I tried writing to disk so I could look at what
was coming out.  The score, with a deferred function table
definition assures that the orchestra will run for a period
of time.  With the below score, I got a test.wav file with
10 seconds of silence.  I'm recording from microphones that
work with arecord, so I'm sure that I'm providing a signal.
hw:0,1 is the digital input on my Mia MIDI, but I did try
the analog input as well.

Thanks,

Toby

Nevermind, I found it.  I tried something revolutionary, and
it worked.  I actually put an 'i' statement in the score that
activated my instrument!
