No Line-In Gain Control w/ Griffin iTalk on 5G iPod Video

[pchc_lx]

hi all, been using rockbox for a few weeks now very happy with such a flexible alternative

i have been using the Griffin iTalk to record 16/44 WAV via it's stereo line-in (not the iPod's headphone out)

however, though I can adjust the input gain when using the Apple firmware, Rockbox's Recording screen's gain controls seem to have no effect on incoming signal.  as a result, i am only able to make very low gain recordings with tons of noise floor garbage.

again, in the apple OS, i am able to access the iTalk's input gain settings (hi, lo, auto - ugh!) and am able to make clean recordings.

any insight on this?  am i doing something wrong?

as a sidenote, Rockbox seems unable to return to audio playback after recording

edit: i am using rockbox r18200-080806

if the gain control is inside the accessory, I have bad news for you: we do not really support accessories that require any action from within the ipod. Maybe LinusN can help, he's been looking at the accessory protocol iirc

thanks for the reply petur, that is pad news

and recommendations for a recording accessories that ARE supported and fully implemented on rockbox / ipod 5g???
