Help with Audacity on Kubuntu 8.04

[Rick Knight]

Hello all,

I'm trying to record some vinyl using Audacity and having no success. I 
have an Audio Technica USB turntable with line out. I have the line out 
connected to the line in on my sound card. I can play the vinyl through 
my PC speakers but I cannot get Audacity to record it. In Kmix I have 
the record input set to line1 and line1 is not muted. In audacity I have 
the record source set to OSS:/dev/dsp, same setting for playback device. 
At one point I thought I had it working, but it turned out the mic input 
was not muted and the mic was picking up the sound from the PC speakers 
and recording that. When I muted the mic and made sure that the only 
source was line1 and that it was not muted, I got no recording again. 
Recording from mic seems to work while recording line1 does not. Can 
anyone tell me how to get Audacity to work?

Thanks,
Rick
