My sound card does come up when referenced as "hw:0,0." What could I have done wrong? The arecord/aplay tools could not find files in /dev/snd for the “hw:1,0″ parameter. My sound card does come up when referenced as “hw:0,0.”

What could I have done wrong?

It was too slow for aplay and it kept chewing through its buffer and skipping. If I go up a bit (say 8000) then I stop getting them. Which is something else worth mentioning - this website only mentions 8000 and 32000; however, I've tried at least a dozen others and all have worked. The highest I've gone is 48000 (better than CD quality) and it hasn't so much as flinched. In fact, it sounds better the higher I go. I haven't bothered going over 48000 so I really don't know what the top limit is. Quite an impressive little toy...

Anyhow, I'm surprised that you're getting underruns. What kind of hardware are you using? Is the USB port being heavily used by other devices, such as disks?

The feed is skips a lot, though, with "underrun!!!" errors, the static is terrible, and I can't seem to get ecasound to work properly at all. (aplay/arecord is fine) All that aside, though, it's progress! Not bad for a little $35 toy. (I got it 1/2 off at a Suncoast store closing sale) After much hair-pulling with libhid, I’ve finally gotten it to at least make noise.

I have not tested the i386 binary RPM. There is, of course, no warranty. Good luck with your RadioShark!

If you made a FC4 RPM, I'd be eternally grateful. Thanks, -Kevin Eric,
