[mythtv-users] ALSA 1.0.x lost capture ability

[Tom Wardill]

I've had exactly this problem. Look in the archives for my "weird alsa
problem" mails.
So far the only answer has been to dump the audigy for a SB Live as the
audigy is incapable of selecting inputs.
But if it worked before, then surely it should work now?
I don't have any experience of this, being entirely new to capturing the
audigy, but if you say it has owrked before, then I'm at a complete loss as
to why it has suddenly stopped working.

I'm setting up a new box with 2.6.7rc love sources, and I'm using the built
in ALSA drivers 1.0.4 I think. I have a SB Audigy running EMU10K1 drivers,
and I can play audio back perfectly. The problem is that all the capture
sources are gone in ALSA versions > 0.9.8 and I have no idea how to get them
back. I record audio using LINE IN on my Audigy.

When I go into alsamixer, I can hear the audio if I unmute Line IN and raise
up the volume. However the whole 'use spacebar to select capture source' 
ability is gone, and once I mute Line IN I hear nothing. I have every other
source at 100% and nothing seems to work!!! What should I do?

I have to be able to capture on line in, and not have to hear it straight
through my speakers obviously so that Myth can record properly. :-( stupid
ALSA.
