Hi all, at the beginning of april I reported problems with recording from an analog source with the Xonar DX2. I got the advice to use the line input and later on aplifying the signal by digital means. I tried so and it seemed to be ok. Now I have some more time and tried to do a complete recording, not only a short test. So I discovered a very ugly (for my purpose) effect: If the input level is lower than a certain point, the Xonar stops producing any bytes at all. I tried with audacity and an input from a audio cassette player: when I press the "pause" button, the recording stops and the same button in audacity looks as pressed too. When I release the "pause" button on the player, the recording in audacity continues. That means musical rests with rhythmical meaning are destroyed. What now?

This is not how the hardware works; it would happily move lots of zeros around. > I tried with audacity and an input from a audio cassette player: when > I press the "pause" button, the recording stops and the same button > in audacity looks as pressed too. My crystal ball tells me that you're using S/PDIF, which allows the cassette player to tell the receiver to stop. Regards, Clemens |

I studied the preferences from audacity and found a small checkbox I've never seen before. I removed the little hook and now it works as expected. Thank you and your crystal ball but my cassette player is so old, there is no S/PDIF output on it.
