Hi Andy,

No apology required.  Yes, the short answer is that the sound card has several microphone inputs but the names are different.  I'm not at the machine now but I recall there are "front mic"& "rear mic" of various types, but none are called just plain "mic".

I should have reported back to Thomas:  Yes, commenting out the lines solved the problem and the keyer worked as expected without any complaints from amixer (in my code it was lines 1234 and 1236). It was a very satisfactory work-around as I don't use other mic inputs during contesting.  Alternatively I suppose I could have just renamed the entries in lines 1234/1236 to match my sound card and thus had the benefit of suppressing other sounds (mic inputs) during the voice keyer operation; but I have not tried this.

Thank you so much for the updates to the scoring and bandmap; I am still playing around with it, but I like it so far.

I have another question about the operation of the program, but I will post that separately as it is quite different from this topic.

73,

Hi,

Sorry about that, it was my fault. I just sent my hacks, to get it to do what I wanted it to do, over to Rein and they appeared in the code. I'm not confident enough to add in a config option for using the soundcard mic, so hopefully you might do that Tom? I presume that's what's needed?

Can you really get soundcards without a mic input? Or is it just called something slightly different on that soundcard?

TLF tries to mute the microfone input on your soundcard.

The problem lies in the hardcoded assumption that there is such an
input device on your soundcard.

Exactly.

As a quick fix I would suggest to comment out lines 1236 and 1238 in
src/callinput.c and recompile. That will drop the amixer invocation.
Keep an eye to the possibility to catch additional microfon input
signals during sending of one of the F-key audio tracks.
