Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) reached end-of-life on April 30, 2010.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/334138 Title: Have sound, but cannot record audio from microphone Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have audio from system sounds (at login), from audio apps (exaile, amarok, etc), and from dvd (totem, kaffeine). But, I am unable to record sounds w/ Audacity nor Sound Recorder. My end goal is to be able to record audio and screen video with recordMyDesktop (I have jackd and qjackctl installed and they are running). The odd thing is that I have ALSA selected in all cases (System > Sound, Volume Control) but when I run `alsamixer` from command line it states that the card and driver are Pulse Audio. The other odd thing is that in Volume Control, I've added the Capture track and when I click the microphone icon to active (get rid of the Red X), it goes away. But, when I reopen - the Red X is back. I thought LordRaiden's hints to help with saving your settings would help - but the above alsamixer issues mean that I don't have the capture tracks and such to attempt to modify. I've attempted the fix suggest here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1069048 My OSS settings do not have a Front Mic, etc, as mentioned. The approach didn't help the problem. 'm running the following (included is `uname -a` output) Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex Linux deedee 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux I've went through several troubleshooting guides and have not been able to get any sound recorded.
