Thank you Benjamin. I now have some new information which could potentially help!
This command will allow you to record sound through ALSA: $: arecord -f cd -D plughw:1,0 -d 20 test.wav Start speaking when it says recording and go to the home directory and double click on the test.wav and you'll hear that it works! But heres where I think the problem lies. It only works when you use plughw and not hw. Hence entering the command like this: $: arecord -f cd -D hw:1,0 -d 20 test.wav will not allow it to record any sound. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886449 Title: [USB-Audio - USB Camera-B4.04.27.1, recording] Pulseaudio fails to detect card To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/886449/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
