I also have one with a "C-Media" chipset that I want to try. Does the Audio input works to put a mic there and record audio?
Yes it does. It works very well with
DTAPE V1.0 Beta 10 for playback and recording.
When using DTAPE for recording you need to set the correct Record Type before you open a new file.
You have to do this only once anytime that you plug in a different usb audio device.
For this device I used PCM, 44100 Hz and 48000 Hz, 16 bits, Mono, Line in.
When using DRECORD for recording I used "drecord /1 cmedia.wav" and "drecord /F:48000 /1 cmedia.wav"
Any tips on the how is the config.sys configuration/parameters of it?
No. DEVICE=D:\MMOS2\USBAUDIO.SYS /V
Just follow the installation instructions in the C:\READUSB.TXT file that comes with Lars Erdman usb drivers:
Q: Why does the USBAUDIO driver come as a zip package (copied to the \MMOS2 directory) within this zip ?
A: For audio drivers it's not sufficient to just copy them to a directory and modify config.sys.
They need to be installed via the "minstall" tool.
You need to extract the USBAUDIO.ZIP file into a temporary directory, open a commandline and run "minstall /*" from within that directory.
That will properly install the USB Audio Driver. Note that the ArcaNoae drivers might add an entry to config.sys
for USBAUDIO.SYS which you will need to remove/comment out first.
