[PlanetCCRMA] Problems with Quattro Recording

[Steve Haynal]

Hi,

I'm only having partial success recording with my Quattro usb audio 
interface. I can record 16 bit on channels 3/4 with arecord:

arecord -D hw:1,1 -r 48000 -f S16_LE -d 10 -c 2 /home/shaynal/test.wav


Problem 1: It seems to record 16 bit on channels 1/2 with arecord but 
the recorded .wav file is very distorted, as if the the volume is passed 
maxed out. (I did try with all settings of the input level switch but 
with little improvement.)


Problem 2: I can not record any sample rate at 24 bit and always get 
this "Sample format non available" error:

  arecord -D hw:1,1 -r 96000 -f S24_3LE -d 10 -c 2 /home/shaynal/test.wav
Recording WAVE '/home/shaynal/test.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian in 
3bytes, Rate 96000 Hz, Stereo
arecord: set_params:824: Sample format non available


But when I do cat /proc/asound/card1/stream1 I see that this format 
should be supported:

Capture:
   Status: Stop
   Interface 8
     Altset 1
     Format: S24_3LE
     Channels: 2
     Endpoint: 6 IN (SYNC)
     Rates: 88200, 96000
   Interface 8
     Altset 2
     Format: S24_3LE
     Channels: 2
     Endpoint: 6 IN (SYNC)
     Rates: 11025, 22050, 44100, 48000
   Interface 8
     Altset 3
     Format: S16_LE
     Channels: 2
     Endpoint: 6 IN (SYNC)
     Rates: 11025, 22050, 44100, 48000


I'm running the latest stock PlanetCCRMA (alsa 0.9.6) on Red Hat 9.0. 
Any suggestions on how to fix these two problems?

Thanks,
