Just got my audio recording working for gtk-recordmydesktop in linux… after blaming pulseaudio, turned out the problem was in an alsa switch (that is hidden by default in the volume control), for my HDA intel laptop: the “input source” option for recording wasn’t set to the internal mic, meaning you could tantalizingly turn it on and hear the playback (risking ear-splitting feedback in the process) but not actually record that to any device.
Thanks to my efforts, I now have a custom .asoundrc with a pulse device, a new set of knobs and monitors (pavucontrol) bewildering sitting on top of my original volume control, but I probably didn’t need all that at all (but I’m not messing with it! it works now, and that’s all I care about)
So, expect some screen-capture demo things coming to a production blog near you, courtesy of gtk-recordmydesktop, pulseaudio and alsa (and an hour or so of ranting and hair-pulling)
Great! I just can not record audio with RecordMyDesktop on Ubuntu 9.04…
Genial! Simplemente yo no puedo grabar audio con RecorMyDesktop en Ubuntu 9.04…
hi GenX, was it the same problem or something else?
Hi bassam, thanks to support my post. I don’t know what’s happen, in volume control all the input source is active, but when I re-open the control volume always the digital recording is turn off.
I can recording with gnome-sound-recorder without problem but not with gtk-RecordMyDesktop…
oh you can record with gnome-sound-recorder? then you could try in gtk-recordmydesktop to play with the input source for sound, for instance try “pulse” instead of what’s there by default,and see if you can get it that way…
