Recording via ethernet connection

**Autodave** · January 25th, 2015

We have a new sound board at out church that has an ethernet output for outputting sound from the board to a PC. What do I need to do / download for Linux to recognize an ethernet audio input?

Reading further in the manual, it states that it also has USB output for recording. Anyone know how I would input that to Linux?

I would get a USB to mini stereo adapter. The adapter (with an additional cable) will be connected to the computer line-in for recording.

Example product: This one does mini-usb to 3.5 mm mini-stereo. If standard usb, get another adapter cable. You also need an male-to-male mini-usb cable to go from this to the computer line-in.

Thanks for the reply. I had thought of that, but supposedly you can USB direct into the PC. I was wondering if there is a program for allowing me to do that.

The drivers for USB audio are part of the basic Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) which Ubuntu uses via a presentation layer called PulseAudio. Try installing pavucontrol, then connect the sound device. Now run the pavucontrol application itself. If you're lucky you'll see the sound device as one of the input channels.
