Hello,

I’m digitalizing some long play (vinyl) disks with a cheap usb turntable (sw-188). No problem recording with audacity.

But I can’t hear what is recorded.

On the same computer I could find a way to do it with windows, just a tick mark. But I fail to find how to do it with openSUSE 12.1.

In fact , I record with one sound card and want to listen with an other one.

I use xfce.

any hint?

thanks

You need to enable “Software playthrough” in Audacity.
Simply tick the checkbox at the “Transport” menu.

What was that you were saying about Linux being a headache?
Sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the sound of openSUSE being awesome.

Thank you, but if it could be a solution, it gives extremely bad results, broking not only the listening but also the recording: I get only sqare signal :frowning:

But I think it should be possible to hear the sound, even without audacity, that is receive the soun from usb and listening from the other sound card (perfectly working on simple reading)

Don’t worry anymore, the computer was simply dying :-(.

With an other computer, the audacity option works like a charm :slight_smile:
