[AG-TECH] question about Audio Capture

[Jason Bell]

G'day Drew

If I could make a suggestion, I would suggest placing the soundcard /
audio capabilities in the display machine, rather than the video capture
machine.  That way the users can make adjustments to the audio, ie,
increase someone's sound without having to switch to the video capture
machine.

Unfortunately I cannot comment on the SB Audigy, but I have personally
experienced problems with the Creative Live Sound Cards when running
Fedora Core 4.  Personally, I just use the onboard sound card and it
does the job perfectly.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Jason.

Subject: [AG-TECH] question about Audio Capture

Hello,

We're currently in the final stages of installing our AG node and we
have
some questions about audio capture. We are planning to have 1 pc (Linux)
handle Audio and Video capture is there an audio card you can recommend?

We are looking at the SB Audigy...

I've also been told that it's possible the on-board audio will be
sufficient...

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
