I have a TV tuner card with its output connected to the CD in of an integrated sound card. Video is OK, and the sound also gets thorough (to the line out) when running xawtv, for example. However, I found no ways yet for recording it.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with ALSA drivers. Pulseaudio was running in the beginning, now it doesn't, but it doesn't seem to make much difference.
Some things I've already tried:
- capturing with VLC, using plughw:0,0 as the audio capture device. (Result: no sound track at all in the resulting video.)
- arecord, then aplay.
- alsamixer. The capture source is set to "CD" (and on the input side it's also "CD" where I can effectively modify the volume for audio going through...), but still no result.
Do you have any ideas what else could I try? (I seem to have run out of them...)
Upon further fiddling, I found that replacing "hw" in the ALSA device spec with "plughw" gives me sound from the analog tuner. I can also use the string name, so now the audio device
ALSA:plughw:CARD=CX8801,DEV=0
works for me. – ReWrite – 2011-07-30T17:30:16.567thanks, this seems to be a good way to list ALSA devices (works for me too), and I also ended up using mplayer/mencoder – Latanius – 2011-12-28T11:35:15.197
