[MPlayer-users] OT Audio routing in TV capture?

[Luis.F.Correia]

You CANNOT plug a lineout into a mic-in, it is not electricaly compatible.

Mic input expects very weak and feable signals, in the milivolt area whereas
the
lineout can output up to 150mv.

IF you build a voltage divisor, you might get away with it, but my guess is
that you must edit the aumix settings to allow recording from another
source.

read aumix man page, and I'm sure you will find the solution.

Now unplug the cable from the mic input before you screw up your sound card!

Thats the point. It wasn't accidentally. I _had_ to plug the cable into mic
in, because that is the source that mencoder is using when recording from
TV. The problem is that regardless of the volume options I pass to mencoder,
the sound is distorted and overdriven. The two sliders that were suggested
to control the mic in input in aumix, IGain and Mic, are already at zero.

The probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of
arrival. Large angle of arrival, small probability of survival and vice
versa.
