Audio unter Linux

sx Audio Debugging für OpenSUSE: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Audio_troubleshooting

Das Basis-Framework für Sound ist ALSA mit dem für die Soundkarte passenden Treiber. Moderne Linux Distros transportieren alle Audiodaten über den Pulseaudio Daemon als netzwerk-transparenten Datenstream. Daher kann der Pluseaudio Daemon auch auf entfernte Sound-Hardware im Netz zugreifen. Entsprechend kann man Audiodaten über ALSA oder Pulseaudio abgreifen und weiter verarbeiten. Pulseaudio abstrahiert die Audiodaten vollständig von der darunter liegenden Hardware:

Soundquelle oder -Ziel → PulseAudio → ALSA-Treiber → Soundkarte

Jedes Soundgerät ist entweder Quelle (Source) oder Senke (Sink) für Audiodaten.

list [short] [TYPE]

            Dump all currently loaded modules, available sinks, sources, streams, etc. TYPE must be one of: modules,
            sinks,  sources,  sink-inputs,  source-outputs,  clients,  samples, cards. If not specified, all info is
            listed. If short is given, output is in a tabular format, for easy parsing by scripts.

pacmd list-sinks | egrep '^\s+name: .*alsa_output'

At a high level, here is what you are going to do:

• Create a “null” sink that you will be recording. Let’s call it recording.
• Create a combined sink that will send its input to both headphones and the recording sink. Otherwise, you will be able to record a stream but not hear it yourself. So, let’s call this sink combined.
• Direct the sound from the specific applications you want to record into the combined sink.
• Record the monitor of the recording sink to a file.

Find out the name of your output device by running

''pacmd list-sinks | egrep '^\s+name: .*alsa_output'''

In my case, it says

''name: <alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo>''

To create the two sinks, run these commands (you need to substitute the name of the output device that you learned on the previous step):

''pacmd load-module module-null-sink sink_name=recording sink_properties=device.description=recording
pacmd load-module module-combine-sink sink_name=combined sink_properties=device.description=combined \
  slaves=recording,alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo''

If you do this often, make it a permanent setup by creating the file ~/.config/pulse/default.pa with this contents (note that the long load-module command should be on a single line, don’t wrap it):

''.include /etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-null-sink sink_name=recording sink_properties=device.description=recording
load-module module-combine-sink sink_name=combined sink_properties=device.description=combined slaves=recording,alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo''

Now, redirect the sound to the combined sink:

• Run the pavucontrol command (a graphical window will appear) and go to the “Playback” tab.
• Start the application you’d like to record.
• The application should appear in pavucontrol. If it doesn’t, make sure the application produces some sound. Unfortunately, until the application tries to play something, PulseAudio cannot “see” it.
