Hi Charlie,

I already confirmed that the audio device is that of tv tuner. The funny
thing is the audio device active only when I access the corresponding video
device. I can see from the audio mixer the audio level is moving. As soon as
I turn off the app accessing the video device, the audio level went down
completely.

 

Testing with mplayer showed that I must use "immediate=0" option, otherwise
I only get video. From the manual it says "A value of 0 means capture and
buffer audio and video together".

Could you give me a hint on this?

Regards

You need to use "arecord -l" to find out and confirm that the "hw:2,0" is
your "Avermedia Volar Go M"

Then, simply use "arecord -D hw:2,0 | aplay" or "gst-launch-0.10 alsasrc
device=hw:1,0 ! audio/x-raw-int,rate=\
32000,channels=2,depth=16 ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink" to confirm that
you can pre-listening from your device and the hardware works.

Next, apply your application ...

Good luck and BR,

Hi all,

I'm fairly new with Gstreamer and trying to build a application to digitize
analog video. I'm using Avermedia Volar Go M as capture device for composite
input.

My problem is that I cannot get any audio from it. I can capture video
without problem with the following command

gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 !
'video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480' ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink

And here is the command to capture audio

gst-launch -e alsasrc device=hw:2,0 ! audioconvert ! lamemp3enc target=1
bitrate=128 cbr=true ! filesink location=audio.mp3

But I get nothing from audio input. I can confirm that the card is working
just fine because the following command can capture video and audio without
problem.

mplayer -tv
driver=v4l2:input=1:device=/dev/video1:alsa=1:adevice=hw.1:immediatemode=0
tv:// -ao sdl

This is audio capture card list in my system:

**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device
0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC883 Digital [ALC883 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 2: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: Cx231xxAudio [Cx231xx Audio], device 0: Cx231xx Audio [Conexant
cx231xx Capture]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
