Hey folks,
I have a (hopefully) fairly basic question about recording and transcoding here. I want to record from the line in on my Wolfson audio card at 24/192/2ch and transcode that to a flac file. I can do this fine at 16 bits/sample, but when I crank it up to 24 bits/sample, I just get static and warped music out of my local speakers when I try to play back the file. The command line syntax I use is:
arecord -d0 -c2 -f S24_LE -r 192000 -traw -D hw:0 | flac -cs --endian=little --sign=signed --channels=2 --bps=24 --sample-rate=192000 --compression-level-0 - -o flac_raw24.flac
Changing the arecord file type to wav doesn't help, and neither does changing the sample rate. The only thing I changed between the 16 bit/sample recordingss and this was the -f and --bps fields. The 16 bit/sample recordings also work if I change the arecord file type to wav. This issue is described in greater detail at post 18 at this thread. Does anyone have an idea of what's going on here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Michael
