Subject: [linux-audio-dev] where to get Tropez Plus help?

Hello all,

I've been trying to set up a Linux box for some serious audio work.
On the subject of building quiet hardware for studio use (my Athlon
machine with four fans currently sounds like a vacuum cleaner), I've
found some good pages at http://www.7volts.com/quiet.htm and
http://home.swipnet.se/tr/silence.html

However, I've reached a dead end as far as configuring my TB Tropez
Plus soundcard under Linux goes. It works for audio and basic midi
playback, but it won't record audio.

I posted to the linux-sound_AT_vger.kernel.org list like any good Linux
user should - but it looks like I'm the only member of the list left.
I emailed the maintainer of the driver according to the kernel
source, Paul Barton-Davis <pbd_AT_op.net>, but the address seems to
bounce. Is it just that all you Linux audio experts are fed up of
answering questions from people who don't understand how to write
device drivers? :)

If anyone could offer me any pointers, I'd appreciate it - details of
my setup are below. I have read the documentation and everything else
I can find on the subject, and have already failed to compile ALSA in
case you're wondering...

Cheers

I'm using a Turtle Beach Tropez Plus set up via isapnp.conf and
sndconfig on a Mandrake 7.2 machine which works fine for playback,
but won't record audio. I just get noise on the file when trying to
record with Broadcast 2000.

If I try this test:

dd bs=8k count=4 </dev/audio> sample.au

I get:

dd: standard input: Input/output error
0+0 records in
0+0 records out

cat /dev/sndstat shows:
