Release Audacity V2.0.2

[Dave18]

Managed to build a stable version of Audacity V2.0.2 for Pandora. Get it from the repo. *pretty sure* all required libs are bundled (it loads on a vanilla pandora) but there are a lot of features and I haven't tested them all.


I had to choose ALSA as the playback device, OSS doesn't seem to work.


Enjoy

Nice one


Can it make use of the internal mic on the new kernel?

 

[mcobit]

Just checked and it cannot record from any input device of the Pandora. There always is an errormessage and when you try to choose dsp0 it crashes to desktop.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Didn't try myself.


You don't see hw:0, hw:0.1 etc. ? hw things are alsa, and /dev/dsp are oss or alsa-oss.

 

[Dave18]

Is this definitely an issue with Audacity or a general hardware/firmware issue? Has anyone recorded successfully from the internal mic using any other software?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Yup. It's easy with:


arecord -t wav -f cd -D hw:0,1 test.wav

 

[mcobit]

I built a jackserver some months ago and had similar problems. I wasn't able to route the signals to the internal audiohardware. This only seems to work with some usb dac or similar stuff.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I confirm this.


For audacity, i think the problem is around alsa/oss.

 

[ghostpatch]

thanks! its a very nice tool. Does the Line-in/out work? I'd like to record Line-in and maybe connect a mic.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Dunno, never tested 'cause i have no cable like that. It should work.


Try with hw:0,2 ?

 

[apersonthinks]

hw:0,0 and hw:0,1 are the only ones that exist. hw:0,0 is the alsa output and hw:0,1 is the mic input.

 

[ghostpatch]

nope, doesn't seem to work.

I don't know where to ask this question because I have Audacity 1.3.12-beta and seems like it's not the one in the repo... so I don't remember where I got it from...

anyway it records without problems from the internal mic, but just for the first track... I can record and play well, but if I record a track AND record again (creating a new track) it complains it isn't able to open the sound device...

I suppose the pandora can't play while recording ? Does anyone have a solution to this ?

EDIT:

RESOLVED !! I downloaded the 2.0.2 and works as a dream !! I can now record and play multiple tracks !!

Thanks dave18

PS: as a reference it works for me with ALSA - omap3pandora: (hw:0,0) - omap3pandora: (hw:0,1)
