ALSAmixer Audio In Jack - Beagleboard XM

Does anyone know what options need to be enabled to properly record audio through the Line In Jack on the Beagleboard XM. I have a Rev C board and I have enabled options in alsamixer and been able to hear audio from a file and through my Line In by enabling Loopback modes. But i'm having problems when I try to run "arecord" from the jack. All I get is a blank recording. Even though when loopback mode is enabled I can hear my audio from the Jack. Any suggestions?

  • After much searching on the internet....weeks before I posted this other post today I found what worked!

    Beagleboard XM has the AUXL/R connected to audio in jack.
    So you need a line-in type of input, not a mic.
    
    Then through Alsamixer or commands:
    amixer sset 'Analog' 1 # 6dB amplification
    amixer sset 'Analog Left AUXL' cap
    amixer sset 'Analog Right AUXR' cap
    amixer sset 'TX1' 'Analog'
    amixer sset 'TX1 Digital' 5 # 5db amplification
    
    arecord -d 30 -f cd -D hw:0,0 -t wav /home/ubuntu/Dekstop/recording.wav
    
    You can play with the gains, if they are not correct.


    I was able to take the following and make sure my "DAC Voice Analog Downlink" and "DAC Voice Digital Downlink" were both muted. This will help with recording to the beagleboard XM input.


    I was also running Ubuntu 11.10 kernel 3.1.5 from www.RCN-EE.com  Now i'm going to start work on making Darkice work!
