Configuring Line In input?
OK, with Ubuntu is like "so far, so great", but occasionaly I run into some problems that I can't resolve on my own and I need some help. I wasn't getting any sound from the rear panel's line in on my computer. After a little search on Google I found that it can be enabled on the ALSA mixer. So I did, and to much joy, I heard a sound from my guitar in the headphones, and I pretty much thought that the input is dead (I have a dual boot machine, and on Win 7 Line In is not working).

Yeah, well, I figured it out. There was no need to touch anything in the ALSA mixer, it was all in the sound settings where in the input tab the connectors menu should be set to analog line in. So, with the line in the ALSA mixer I guess there was some kind of conflict, so there the line in should be muted.

Re: Configuring Line In input?
Interesting.. You had to mute the line in on the Alsa mixer in order to hear the line in signal??

Re: Configuring Line In input?
when you use the jack audio server, you better mute your input device in alsa, to avoid a direct output and get instead the processed output of your jack application.
