When I record Internetradio with amarok-kmix-audacity, the
recording-process stop after same seconds (2-40); also the recording
meter if I use him only.
Until to the Version:1.3.5, I had during the last 6month no problem.

I am using "Sidux"=Debian GNU/Linux  SID (17.01.2009), Kernel 2.6.27-9.slh.1
and libc6 2.7-18
For Recording I use an SB-Audigy-SE, ALSA CA0106, Output from KMIX=

Hi,

I can reproduce this problem in 1.3.8 with a similar sound card (Audigy2
- SB Audigy 4 [SB0610]). The current upstream trunk tree is not affected
any more.

Cheers,

After Dist-Upgrade from my Sid(Sidux)-Installation today and install
audacity 1.3.9, the current version in sid, I get still the same problem.

Same problem here (recording "stops" after a few seconds for all
audacity versions > 1.3.5; works correctly with 1.3.5), but with a
different soundcard (cheap "soundcard" bundled with my laptop,
actually):

I've no problems here on a Debian-Box  with Intel-HDA, but I remember
that I had a similar problem on a windows-box at work, where the
recording stopped after a few minutes. There the workaround was to
change the sample-bitrate from 24 to 32-bit-float.

Have you tried to change the record-sample-bitrate and/or -frequency in
Preferences/Quality/Record-Import-Parameters?

It's only an idea ;-)

Bingo! By setting project rate to 48kHz (the "native" card rate), it
seems I can record just fine!

So, there's still a regression, but at least I now have an acceptable
workaround, many thanks!

Best regards,
Pierre.

I have still the same problem as in the first report of this thread, now
with audacity 1.3.12.

Kernel: 2.6.33.2
Debian-Sid 26.04.2010.

So I return to audacity 1.3.5 again.

Changing the prferences ( bit-rate, frequenz-sample-rate) has no effect.
