I've tried stuff like sox with no success. It seems I need to tell the sound card to do the ADC thing and show it to me on a device. Which device? Also, what are the /dev/dsp and /dev/dspW devices? Lots of references to them - no explanation it seems. I can take the line-level input and play it through the speakers attached to the sound card. If it helps my ultimate goal is to take microphone or line-level input to the sound card and press it onto CDs. The cd writing part is no problem. I've got a soundblaster: sb0 at 0x220 irq 5 drq 1 on isa sb0: sbxvi0 at 0x0 drq 5 on isa sbxvi0: sbmidi0 at 0x330 on isa sbmidi0: Thanks. -Glen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
