Ubuntu Multimedia :: Unable To Record From Microphone In Any Program 9.10?
Jul 14, 2010
I was running 9.04 and could, through some magical sequence of toggling options that I was unable to figure out, occasionally get recording from the mic to work in audacity. Ardour worked more reliably, but is kind of over-featured. Audacity is simpler and I know how to get things done. For a while, I was doing basic recording in Ardour, saving it to wav then editing in audacity.
Well, I noticed a howto on getting audacity working in 9.10... so I upgraded ("what could possibly go wrong?"). I still can't record audio in audacity and ardour is now ALSO unable to record audio. They start recording samples but nothing comes in but silence. I've got audacity set to ALSA/default/default and when I click monitor, the stream appears in the pavucontrol app. I've moved it to the input device and that doesn't seem to affect the results at all. Everything looks like it should be working fine except there's some invisible mute button, or something. Under alsamixer's Capture section, Mic has a red "CAPTUR" with no bar to adjust.

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on an Asus F3JC laptop with an integrated webcam and microphone. The webcam is a
Code:
user@ubuntu:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05e1:0501 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd DC-1125 WebCam
and it works. If i tap on the microphone or if I blow on it, I hear noises but after I record something with gnome-sound-recorder I don't hear any sound! The same with Skype, for example.
On Xp (other hd partition) it works.
The audio device on the laptop is a
Code:
user@ubuntu:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC660 Analog [ALC660 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
[Code]....
If I open the "sound preferences tool" the device for sound input is "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" and even if I tune the volume of the microphone I don't see any movement in the input level bar. I've also checked alsamixer and the digital volum in the capture interface is set at the maximum.

I've had this problem on ubuntu before, and I remember that I had to install a program from synaptics package manager and change the noise removal settings. This worked on someone else's mono mic, and I'm wondering if anyone knows which program changes the system setting for noise cancellation.

I am trying to record audio playback from an application and the microphone at the same time on recordmydesktop using pulse audio. I just can't figure out how to mix them both. I have tried a lot already and can only get either the mic or the audio playback to be recorded, not both. Can this be done using pavucontroll?
I have been search now for hours to find a solution (also here on the forum) for this and getting really frustrated now. Maybe i'm just missing something really obvious, so sorry if this is a stupid question.

I just bought a new laptop and installed Ubuntu onto it. Everything is working fine except for the microphone. Every time I try to record, there's a bunch of static in the background. I've tried changing the sliders on "alsamixer", which helps a little bit, but it never completely goes away. I know it's not a hardware problem because it perfectly clear on Windows (I'm dual booting). I've used Ubuntu a lot in the past, but I don't know much about audio drivers, or even how to figure out which one I'm currently using. My laptop is an Acer AS5750-9851 and I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, 64 bit.

I would want to record/edit/save music from the microphone (convert a tape to CD). But. I start audacity, leave everything at default, record the music, and play back. It plays agonisingly slow. I can change the sample rate manually such that it sounds good, but this is just a guess (I could for example measure the recording time, and adjust the sample rate after that, such that the displayed time on the timeline fits this time). Why the hell do I need to do this? Why is the recording sample rate = playbe sample rate not producing correct output?

I am attempting to record my microphone input using ffmpeg / alsa but always receive the following error:
[code]...
Using arecord works perfectly with hw:0,0. I had also tried to use /dev/snd/hwC0D0 as input but I receive an error from alsa saying that it doesn't exist (despite it existing and having adequate permissions). I know absolutely nothing about hardware but am comfortable around the command line

I'm trying to record a video with sound through FFmpeg, and while it records the system sounds just fine, it doesn't record the microphone (in fact, it crashes on doing so!). The strange thing is that if I use arecord, it works just perfectly, but through ffmpeg it crashes.This is the command that I use to launch FFmpeg:
Code:
/usr/bin/ffmpeg
-f x11grab

I need a simple program that I can talk into a microphone and the sound will come out the speakers. I want to use my Computer that's hooked up to the store speakers as a PA System.
I am having a difficult time finding a program that will let me do this without having to record and playback. Any help would be wonderful.

I have gotten my microphone working, this was an issue for a long time.
Now I can hear myself through my headphones so I know the computer is "hearing" it.
But... I still show "No Input Devices Available" in my Pulse Audio volume control so I'm still not able to record... which of course is my whole point.

I go to System>Preferences>Sound>Input. The setting, that I had previously placed at 50 %, is now at 10 %. I try to drag it with the mouse but it refuses to move. I have to hang up the communication and then take it back to 50 %. After I call again, we can talk OK. What can I do to correct this trouble? I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 I am using 10.10 I am using headphone/microphone headset this did work for me with 10.04 never a problem, I have tried to use these to fix problem - audacity/sound recorder/pulse audio volume control/pulse audio device chooser/ (the more I use 10.10 the more I love it its been a learning curve I am sure this is just another one of them for me..)
Re: Microphone not working after upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick My hardware profile is Duplex. When I click on the input tab the signal measuring bar is always staying lit on the first section and does not move further. This means that the mic is not capturing sound. In 10.04.1 there was a dropdown menu in the input tab from which I could choose the default microphone and thus choose an option that works. In 10.10 there is no such thing. I kind of fixed it by adding "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack" in alsa-base.conf. Now I have the dropdown menu and my microphone works for now. The problem is that I did not have to do this in 10.04.1 ... options snd-hda-intel model=3stack sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf for mine it was mic 1 and it worked

I want to get my PS3 Eyetoy working as a webcam on my Ubuntu box for use with Skype etc. When plugged in, the camera portion works fine and is recognised immediately. However, I am unable to get the microphone working. It appears to be recognised, but there isn't anything captured from it.
I have removed PulseAudio as it was interfering with my quest to get 5.1 working over HDMI passthrough in XBMC.
I did have it working briefly, but I must have changed something, and now I cannot get it to work for love, nor money!
This is what my system finds:
Code:
$ arecord -l
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 1: CameraB409241 [USB Camera-B4.09.24.1], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I have tried alsamixer -c 1, but that gives me the following error:
Code:
cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argumen

Anyway, being a Windows user before this, I enjoyed recording videos of my computer and the programs on it, but when I switched to Ubuntu 10.04, I kinda hit some tracks.
I installed gtk-recordMyDesktop and permanently killed PulseAudio and installed GNOME ALSA Mixer.
What my problem is is that I want gtk to record digital sounds, you know, what I'm hearing through the speakers, and not my microphone.

I'm using a CAD u37 usb condenser microphone for some semi-pro voiceover work. My clients insist on stereo audio. On my windows machine, my mic works just fine, but it's not in very very good place for recording (a bit too echoey). So I thought I'd use my netbook running ubuntu.I can plug my mic in, and it does record sound, but there is no available sound profile that allows me to just have two-channels of input. Can I install a driver or edit a file somewhere that lets me have stereo input?

I have some microphone problems. I can't record anything. (I'm using openSUSE 11.3)
My sound card was detected almost correctly (at least the chip-set was i think). I have an Asrock motherboard (k7upgrade880, with a Southbridge: VIA 8237 | Audio: CMedia CMI9761 6 channel AC'97.
I ran these commands so far with these results - while i was following the audio troubleshooting guide (SDB:Audio troubleshooting - openSUSE
But i have NO audio playback problems - movies, games, music all play well. And the Microphone guid has a broken link
I tried to change my 50-sound.conf file (i read it on a forum, I'm new to linux troubleshooting) from this:
options snd slots=snd-via82xx to this: options snd slots=snd-via82xx position_fix=1
But that did not work either. I did not get any sound with the last line.

Is there a way I can start a program and then record a log of how much memory it's using at a specific interval until the program ends?
I've tried writing a shell script but get the error: ./apps/mem-test.sh: line 4: [: too many arguments
Here's the non-working script:
Code:
$HOME/apps/ImageMagick/bin/convert -limit memory 64 -limit map 128 $HOME/SSI/davidkennardphotography/Img-Orig/95-Pole-Bank.jpg -set option:filter:filter Lanczos -set option:filter:blur 0.8 -resize 1024x720 $HOME/resizedImage.jpg &
