Pcm to wav foobar how to#
Can you suggest me how to build the application on osx or linux?. Do you have any idea what could be wrong.Hi philippe_44. Not posting the set values coz gonna be long.

Numid=24,iface=MIXER,name=’IEC958 Playback Pro Mask’ Numid=23,iface=MIXER,name=’IEC958 Playback Con Mask’ Numid=17,iface=MIXER,name=’Capture Volume’,index=1 Numid=15,iface=MIXER,name=’Capture Volume’ Numid=18,iface=MIXER,name=’Capture Switch’,index=1 Numid=16,iface=MIXER,name=’Capture Switch’ Numid=4,iface=MIXER,name=’Mic Playback Volume’ Numid=5,iface=MIXER,name=’Mic Playback Switch’ Numid=1,iface=MIXER,name=’PCM Playback Volume’ Numid=2,iface=MIXER,name=’Headphone Playback Switch’ Numid=27,iface=MIXER,name=’Master Playback Volume’ Numid=28,iface=MIXER,name=’Master Playback Switch’ The output of ‘amixer content’ doesn’t include “Capture Source”: I tried the way you described above but wouldn’t work. The radio station opens an pop-up window and uses Adobe Flash Player to play the radio. This way when you have reached the end of the recording you can just ctrl-c. If you do not know how long a recording will take (For example a live interview on LQRadio), set the -d option of ‘arecord’ command to an arbitrarily large value like 1400. Set it halfway through, say between 50%-60%. This will introduce noise into your recording. If you have lame installed on your system you can use the following command to convert wav to MP3.ĭo not set you player volume to max while recording. The output was a bulky file which blew up to 1.7 MB for 10 seconds which is understandable given that the output is wav format. This is exactly same as the earlier command (‘-f cd’internally is actually ‘-c2 -r44100 -f S16_LE’) but now the audio quality was perfect with no noise as far as I could hear. Do you have some file format that calls itself 'PCM' and for which you just need to find an input component that understands it If you've got raw audio data, you could probably get ffmpeg or some other program to wrap it in a container that foobar2000 understands like for example m4a. But the recording was horrible with a lot of static, so I dug up the man pages again and issued the following command:Īrecord -d 10 -c 2 -f S16_LE -r 44100 -t wav -D copy foobar.wav (The ‘numid’ might be different in your system, use ‘amixer controls’ to find the exact name)Īfter all that waiting, it felt amazing to hear something recorded when I played back foober.wav. I set the capture source to 4 which meant ‘MIX’:Īmixer cset numid=27,iface=MIXER,name='Capture Source" 4 The ouput of this command listed a control called ‘Capture Source’ which was currently set to 3 which meant it was recording from the external microphone. This command displays all controls applicable to the sound card. Then I saw that the ‘arecord’ man pages referred to the command ‘amixer’.Īfter a bit of digging I issued the following command: Now when I tried the previous command again, it worked!īut unfortunately, when I tried to play the wav file back all I heard was static.

This command records a 10 second audio clip of CD quality from the device ‘copy’īut, the command failed saying that it could not find ‘copy’.Īccording to the manual the ‘copy’ device has to be specified in the user’s .asoundrc file.Īs I did not find the file in my home folder, I created it and named it ‘.asoundrc’ in my home folder and copied the following lines into it: I checked it out and it was installed in my system.Īn example command to record soundcard ouput was specified in the man pages and I tried it:Īrecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D copy foobar.wav When I google’d for other alternatives, I came across a command line utility called There is an application called KRec which is bundled with KDE, but this app can only record an aRTs ouput, not ALSA’s.
