Done some more work and discovered that under 'Sound Preferences' and the Hardware tab you need to select an appropriate Profile with the drop down menu. I went for Analog Stereo Duplex (it had defaulted to Analog Stereo Output) and then both mic1 and mic2 appeared in the Input tab. I choose Analog Microphone/Microphone 2 for my web cam mic and it worked.
I did a reboot upon finding Sound Recorder playing up and all now behaves as expected. This is for Karmic and it all looks a lot different from Jaunty. If you have the Sound Preferences window open and then start Sound Recorder you get this false error message: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them with the "Sound Preferences" under the System-Preferences menu" Close the Sound Preferences window and Sound Recorder opens up ok. So we still have some adverse 'features' but at least I could get it working. Sound has always been difficult with Ubuntu and I have never really understood why. -- hp mini built in microphone through pulseaudio doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
