Thanks Scott! I'll take a look.

Hi Rmcellig,

Until somebody responds with better information, here's an Ubuntu resource I've used in the past, maybe there's some information there that can help.

I have Linuxlite 2.2 installed on a Dell 3000 desktop with 2GB of RAM. When I went to the terminal and typed crontab -e, I used nano to setup my cronjob:

Code: [Select]

*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/arecord -t wav -f cd -d 44 /home/randy/Music/test.wav

This works fine except that there is no audio. When I run  this from the terminal, everything works fine.

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/arecord -t wav -f cd -d 44 /home/randy/Music/test.wav
Any ideas why it is not working from Cron? What can I try out and post back?

Thanks!!!
