I'm at my wits end trying to get my new remote to work and thought the
lirc with alsa driver would do the trick.<br>
<br>
I built the circuit (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.lirc.org/ir-audio.html">http://www.lirc.org/ir-audio.html</a>) with some
modifications to reuse the Hauppauge receiver and get power from a
spare USB plug. It seems to work. When it's plugged in and I press
buttons I hear the bumps, pops and beeps.<br>
<br>
Then I compiled lirc with the alsa driver. Everything seemed to
install fine.<br>
<br>
Now, following the instructions
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.lirc.org/html/audio-alsa.html">http://www.lirc.org/html/audio-alsa.html</a>) I try to use arecord. For
some reason the U8 format doesn't work and I get this error:<br>
<br>
<blockquote><tt>$ arecord -D hw:0,3 -r8000 -c1 -f U8<br>
RIFF$??WAVEfmt @data??Recording WAVE 'stdout' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate
8000 Hz, Mono<br>
arecord: set_params:896: Sample format non available</tt><br>
<br>
</blockquote>
I have to change the channel switch to c2 and the format to S16_LE to
get it to show me anything (<tt>arecord -D hw:0,3 -r8000 -c2 -f S16_LE</tt>).
However, now I turn down the line-in in volume and <i>should</i> only
see junk on the screen when I press a button, but continue to see the
page scroll with extra crap. I've muted all other input items in
alsamixer and have set line-in to capture.<br>
<br>
When I try to run '<tt>irrecord -d hw:0,3 file</tt>' I get the
following messages:<br>
<br>
<blockquote><tt>irrecord - application for recording IR-codes for
usage with lirc<br>

<br>
irrecord: ALSA function snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format returned error:
Invalid argument<br>
irrecord: hw_params_set_format: Success<br>
irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it,
check permissions)<br>
<br>
</tt></blockquote>
I've verified that lircd is not running, however, there seems to be a
process called lirc_dev.<br>
<br>
Just as extra information, here's my audio device list:<br>
<br>
<blockquote><tt>$ arecord -l<br>

<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
