Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Can some knowledgable reader comment on the functionality of the Yamaha-based sound system found on some Toshiba notebooks, e.g., the 220CDS. My 220CDS presently runs 2.2.6-RELEASE, and plays audio through /dev/audio & /dev/dsp reasonably, although the gain is rather low compared to the system "beep" played through the speakers even with the mixer gain set to 100 across the board. However, I haven't been able to "record" clean audio from either an internal or external microphone. For example, the "speak_freely" suite compiles directly and connections from other hosts (e.g., Sun, SGI) play here fine through "sfspeaker" on the Toshiba. "sfmike", on the other hand, appears to transmit plenty of noise along with the audio signal, which can just be discerned under the hash. Has anyone experimented with this, and perhaps found a solution? Cheers -- Gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
