Most of my recording needs are quite simple, so I normally use Audacity.
But in Lubuntu, Audacity 2.0.0 I have a recording volume problem.
Audacity can't control it's own recording volume anymore and requires a
"system mixer" to do it. I use an M Audio Audiophile 24/96 PCI card
that uses envy24control. Lubuntu does not have pulseaudio unless
you put it in and I do NOT want anything to do with pulseaudio. So this
is an alsa or oss issue. Audacity doesn't show up in Jack's connection section
so I assume Audacity 2.0.0 is not Jack aware.
I can't figure out how to control Audacity recording
input levels using envy24control or the alsa mixer. Nothing seems to make
any difference. I must be missing something obvious.
Can anyone tell me where I can find the answer or what I'm doing wrong ?
Audacity recording input level control

Re: Audacity recording input level control
Audacity has lousy Jack support using PortAudio which makes Jack connects dynamically, ie. when you hit record or playback. There are no static connections like other Jack applications. However, this is a compile-time option, so your version of Audacity may or may not have this feature. It would also be possible to create Alsa loopback devices which will have static Jack ports. You can read about that here: http://jackaudio.org/routing_alsa and here: http://www.penguinproducer.com/2011/11/ ... ridge-kit/ But in principle you should be able to use Audacity directly with Alsa and not use Jack. Does the command "aplay -l" list your M Audio Audiophile card? If so, I would think you could select this card in the Audacity preferences (Edit->Preferences then select playback and recording device from drop down list).
Re: Audacity recording input level control
To let us see if there is something wrong in your envy24control settings you might want to post the terminal output of
amixer -cx
where x is the card number corresponding to the m-audio (See "cat /proc/asound/cards")
amixer -cx
where x is the card number corresponding to the m-audio (See "cat /proc/asound/cards")
Re: Audacity recording input level control
I am using card 0, the PCI ICE1712 - M Audio Audiophile 24/96
sound card. I have deactivated in the BIOS the motherboard
sound circuit, which is card 1.
This is more information than I think anyone would want.
But if you want it, here it is.

And if you want the rest just say so, but isn't this enough ?
I don't understand hardly any of it. I amazed anyone does.
Re: Audacity recording input level control
envy24control is a specific alsamixer for cards that use the snd_ice1712 module, like your (and my) m-audio 2496. amixer gives the same info in plain text.I can't figure out how to control Audacity recording
input levels using envy24control or the alsa mixer
No, there are no accesible ADC levels (they are missing in the analog volume tab, if you look there).. There used to be there in previous linux/alsa versions. However, this shouldn't mean that capture levels are too low but that they are OK and don't need adjusting. Are you using an external mixer?
Re: Audacity recording input level control
I usually use an old Berringer low priced mixer that does the job.
It seems strange that an older version of envy4control would have
ADC controls when a newer one does not. The sound card has not
changed. It's the same as it was years ago. Why would they downgrade
the envy24control ? Do you think if I found an old copy of envy24control
It would work with Lubuntu 12 ? I could dig around on my old computers
and maybe find one.
I have been considering going back to Ubuntu 8.10. The Audacity on it can
control its own recording level. Again, why did they dumb down Audacity ?
Just because my recording input levels on Audacity seen Ok now, that's no
reason to take my control over them away.
Looks like maybe I should have just stuck with the old stuff.

Re: Audacity recording input level control
This is an old thread. Advice was given by Pablo to use the envy24control. A replacement is available that is compatible with the M Audio Audiophile 24/96 PCI card and other ICE1712 cards.

It was given the interesting name to make it clear that it is different then envy24control, and was last updated in 2010.
