How do I change the record volume. I am doing all this from the console, no GUI. I have not seen anything in any of the config files to set the record volume.

Sounds like your record volume is set WAY to high or more likely you are recording from the wrong input. Make sure that it's the _line_in_ that's selected for recording in you mixer app. Also If i remember you have to use HALF_DUPLEX mode (in liveice.cfg) at least if you're using MIXER mode... I'm not sure about in SIMPLE mode, expirement. Harvey On Wed, 21 Mar 2001, Matthew Mencel wrote:> I'm running FreeBSD 4.2. I downloaded and installed Icecast 1.3.10, > Liveice, mpg123, and Lame.

Your distro probably came with an sound mixer application. I use aumix on the console which i had to go get, but you may already have, see if you have a man page. Else you can search freshmeat.net for it. You will need to make sure _line_in_ is set for recording and set the _rec_ volume at 1/2 to start and adjust by trial and error. NOTE: the _line_in_ Volume adjusts how loud you HEAR the source, but it's the _rec_ Volume that adjusts how loud it's recorded (in this case sent to the Liveice process).

If you want to hear what it sounds like, take a listen. I'll have it up for another 20 mins or so. 216.89.166.14:8000 -----Original Message----- From: owner-icecast@xiph.org [mailto:owner-icecast@xiph.org]On Behalf Of harvey smith Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2001 11:20 PM To: icecast@xiph.org Subject: RE: [icecast] Liveice & Icecast...help Your distro probably came with an sound mixer application.
