Just popping in

I cannot find from the readme file of AHIRecord, how to set the default 'MODE' and "INPUT" port of a sound card (SoundBlaster Live!). There are the respective tooltypes in the program icon, but I cannot see any info what value should be used to get a certain mode or a port. I have tested different integers but the defaulf 'Input' is always 'mixer' when the program is started. I would like to change it to 'mic'

Haven't use it since long time, but:
Tooltypes/CLI parameters
------------------------

- MODE Initial AHI audio mode to use (in DECimal)

- INPUT Number of the default input to use
...
resto of tooltypes are in readme

You can "get" your AHI modes in AHI prefs and the convert the HEX value/mode in calculator to DECimal.
Or if you have somewhere on your system (ahiddev.lha in os4depot) AHI GetAudioID tool

Nothing will get set until the mode is set correctly. Make sure you use a decimal value as it doesn't understand Hex. You can then set the input equal to the item number in the list. First item equals 1.

I got this result from a converter:
0x001E0004 -> 1966084

But MODE=1966084 tooltype has no effect. I also used INPUT=3, which should match 'MIc' which is third on the list but no effect. either.

Any idea what I do wrong...?

Not all modes will work. Here is what I did. From the GUI use the Audio Mode button and try selecting vaious selections from the list that appears until you find one that works. Note that if you select one that doesn't work all the gadgets will be ghosted and you will need to restart the program. On my system non of the 16bit selections would work. I had to choose a 32bit one. It depends on the sound card you are using. Once you find a mode that works then convert it's Hex value to decimal and you should be able to use it in the tooltype setting. Note that once you set if from the tooltype you can no longer change it from the GUI because the Audio Mode button gets ghosted. Hopefully this will help you out.

As a side note. I wonder if the source code is available somewhere for this program?

Thanks for your answer... In my case, even those modes which work with AHIRecord, cannot be preselected by using the MODE tooltype. But I also noticed that the mode selected in AmigaOS sound prefs is used as a default in AHIRecord. Unfortunately that does not work with the INPUT - AHIRecord seems to use always 'mixer' as default.

Is the author of this program still in business...?

Yes, @tomsonic...even a member here

I just tried on my X1000 (haven't touched the program in years) and while i get a list of some modes through "Audio Mode" (hdaudio and Unit 0) i can only select Unit 0 with no inputs.

Also i get an AHIRecord error: Cannot allocate AHI inbetween.

I know it worked on my XE back in the day, but maybe the hdaudio driver is not that forgiving?

Nice Raziel. I didn't realize you wrote it. I'm using the onboard sound on my X1000, I believe Lyle's driver, and the only mode that seems to work for me is the "hdaudio 32bit stereo++"...or something like that. Not in front of my X1000 at the moment. All other settings that show up, including Unit 0 ones give me the "cannot allocate AHI" error.

Note, I am using the Enhancer "Sound" replacement for AHI. I have successfully made recordings through the front "Sound Input" connector on my X1000 with it.

I didn't write it (i couldn't for the life of me code something)

@tomsonic wrote it (the author of AmigaAmp)
Not sure if he'd still take a look at it, you gotta ask him.

Using onboard hdaudio.audio 6.23 myself, but as i wrote it doesn't get picked up

Oops, sorry. Didn't read that close enough.
Hmm....I wonder why yours doesn't get picked up. I'll try to look at it a bit closer tonight when I get home.
