Audacity no "Wave Out" source [SOLVED]

[Efo]

Hi Gerard,

I read that, and I did kill pulseaudio to no avail; I wonder if I should try with OSS again (i.e. recompile the kernel).
But I think (from what I read) the problem is in realtek that I had to add into the kernel in order to have the capture option in alsamixer (among other options including mikes). However, alsamixer gives me:

Card: HDA Intel
Chip: Nvidia ID 3

and "lspci | grep Audio" gives:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

(no realtek mentioned)

I use openbox + fbpanel.

Hi efo,
Here's my lsmod.

Hi Gerard,

rezound seems a little more complicated; it doesnt work right after install (cant even get the front mike to work) but I havent figured out how to configure it yet.
Maybe I will put some time into it later on, but for now the feeling is that I am missing something.... somewhere... kenrel codecs?... conflicts? :o(

Oh, by the way, it is a laptop.

[Efo]

Eureka!

I finally got it!
I followed the wiki suggestion and it worked: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/ALSA
I think (not 100% sure) that what made the difference was

Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
<*> Enhanced Real Time Clock Support
...
<*> RTC Timer support
[*] Use RTC as default sequencer timer

Summary of "Audacity Preferences" -> "Devices":
Host:ALSA
Playback:default
Recording:
Device:HDA Intel: ALC662 rev1 Analog (hw:0,0)
Channels:2(stereo)
Note: no "Mic:0", "FrontMic:0" drop down menu present.

Note: play with "Master", "Speaker", "PCM", "Capture", and "Digital" volumes in alsamixer.

Thanks again for the help gerard82.

Efo
