gOS is just a modified version of Ubuntu, so the same steps should work.

thanks for the great work,I have two questions.

1). can you install this on gos the same way?

2). windows audacity requires you to download a file called lame.dll to export to mp3, what do I do about this with linux?

I’ve read (here? elsewhere?) that there is surprisingly little line noise compared to what one usually encounters with built-in audio.

It seems that the Intel HDA spec supports high bitrate playback, but I haven’t come across information about the supported recording rates.

I’m asking because I’m considering an Eee-based recording setup for music, with audio input to the Eee from a mixing board.

What are your thoughts?

I didn’t bother installing LAME, since I usually work with WAV files, and if I need to compress an audio file I’m fine with OGG. But here are the instructions for installing LAME:

I know comments are not an ideal method for back and forth communication, but I wanted to let you know that I’ve spent more time on your newer Eee posts and they have been tremendously helpful. It’s exciting that so many audio options (software and hardware) are available on the Eee PC as well as other linux options. Got to go now and order my Eee PC!

I’ve tried to keep things to a minimum by just installing Audacity, GIMP, and I keep wavering back and forth about whether I want to install Opera or not. Loading the Full Desktop also takes up a bit of space. Right now I still have about 1GB of free space on my unit, plus I keep a 1GB memory card in the SD slot. If I wind up doing a lot of audio editing on the go I’ll probably get a larger storage card.

Also, I figured out a kind of convoluted way to install Audacity 1.3 beta:

As for Ardour, I haven’t even tried installing it. I’m sure you could get it to run, but it just doesn’t seem like it’d be worth the effort.

I’ve been watching the Eee for the past week or so to do some simple audio editing during my commute. To my amazement there is a blog where someone (namely Brad Linder, yay!) has installed Audacity and it wasn’t a huge pain. I too thought about Ardour and had the same reservations. I was curious about one thing, how much usable hard drive space do you have after installing a couple apps? Obviously the bigger the app the more space eaten up, but do you still have around a gig left? More?
Thanks!
