'Twas brillig, and [email protected] at 23/09/09 19:29 did gyre and gimble:
Thanks a lot for your help!
I tried everything you suggested (except for checking /etc/pulse diffs,
I'll do that later) without any luck. But I attached the output of
'pacmd list' as well as screenshots of pavucontrol and alsamixer. Imho,
everything looks right. When recording with audacity, I can select (in
pavucontrol) between the device itself and "monitor of" the device. When
selecting the device, the "recording cursor" in audacity does not even
move (but flickers). When selecting the monitor, the cursor moves but
records nothing but silence (look at the volume meter). Dito with the
gnome-sound-recorder (he even crashes on exit when recording directly
from the device instead of the monitor). I couldn't find a place where I
can set the monitor as the default recording device. I can only change
that after recording has started, which is quiet confusing... what's the
point of these "monitors" btw?
Monitors allow you to hear what is coming out of a speaker (think of a
band playing at a live gig, they use monitors to hear their own
playing). So for every output sink there is a "monitor" source that goes
with it.
If you were to record from a monitor and then play some audio you should
hear that coming back in.
It's odd that things are not working tho' :s Perhaps the live CD uses
tsched=0 mode in it's default.pa? The output from pacmd list again on
the live cd should provide a good comparison.
