I'm trying to become sound savy. I have a D-Link DSB-R100 usb radio, and Sony Vaio PCG-Z505-JE laptop running: FreeBSD rosebud.alerce.com 4.9-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p5 #20: Tue Apr 20 10:02:23 PDT 2004 root@rosebud.alerce.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ROSEBUD i386 I kldload the ufm.ko module, plug it in, and I can control it with Warner's (I think) little ufmctl program. It tunes, mutes, etc... just fine. In particular, it sounds perfectly reasonable for an fm radio. I'm trying to record stuff, and the results that I'm getting sound like crap. I've been using sox, in two configurations I cribbed from the web: sox -v 1.0 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp -w -r 44100 -t cdr - sox -t ossdsp /dev/audio -t .wav -r 44100 -c 2 - Both of them end up sounds lousy when I play them back in xmms, much worse than listening to it directly. Can anyone comment on how I might get better recordings? I'll happily supply more information on request (I'm not sure what else to supply though...). g.
