I have another issue, my microphone does not record at all!! When I try to record, it just makes this....dot. dot sound.I have a Gateway NV53 laptop with an internal microphone built in Does anyone know a solution to it?I've done some research and it all seems to end up in a dead...end. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and everything is up to date and working so far.

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.

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 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 have Ardour GTK2 , and I am trying to record from a mic, AND IT JUST WONT WORK
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?

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 have some troubles with my microphone.I can hear it in ootput if I knock on it or speak, but I can't record from mic. It also does not work in skype.cant figure out what is the problem.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'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:

I just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04, then rapidly to 9.10, when support for 8.10 was finally phased out. I've been trying for a few days to figure out how to record sound and can't get anything working. Sound playback works fine.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Code:
The terminal programs execute and quit after ten seconds, as expected, and create a sound of the appropriate length in my home directory, which is what I want. They don't report any errors, but the sound file they create is just soft background static with occasional soft clicks. Audacity also just records soft static with soft occasional clicks. The Gnome Sound recorder does slightly better, recording almost-intelligible sounds with bad static distortion.
I've verified that sound levels are not muted using the mixer, and have run through the Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide [url]. No joy.
Here's the output of lscpi -v:
Code:
After upgrade today, I cannot record sound. All the equipment works fine when I boot into Windoze...
Running Audacity from a terminal gives me this message as it starts:
Code:
Expression 'stream->capture.pcm' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 3653
Google has thrown up some old posts (some here) - none really relevant and a hint on a mailing list that it may be a bug...

Is there currently any way to record a webcam video with sound? This used to be possible back in the day before PulseAudio was installed by default (by using Mencoder, following guides such as [URL] and [URL] ) but that method doesn't work any more: /dev/dsp doesn't exist. I've also tried Cheese and that again just records a video with no audio. All the articles I can find on the topic are from the good old pre-Pulse days.
I've tried messing about with the commands a bit to use the Alsa Pulse device (defined in /etc/asound.conf) since neither mencoder or ffmpeg seem to have built in Pulse input support:
Code:
ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f video4linux2 -s 640x480 -i /dev/video0 out.mpg
- this works, but the audio is more than a second out of sync with the video, which is a bit useless (I'm trying to record myself playing guitar), and the video is very slow (<1 fps) for the first few seconds.
Code:
mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0:fps=30:forceaudio:alsa:adevice=pulse -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64:mode=3 -o test.avi
- this doesn't work, I get the following error:

View 9 Replies View RelatedI was, untill very recently, using ubuntu 10.10, and have just upgraded. In Ubuntu 10.10, I was easily able to record sound from my sound card in audacity. For whatever reason, since upgrading I have been unable to do so. I have no problem recording sound from my laptop's microphone, but can't seem to find an option to record from the sound card. I believe it's the same version of Audacity, so all I can assume is that it's an Ubuntu issue.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use Ubuntu 10.04 but I had this problem in 9.10 too.
I have a problem regarding my sound preferences. I have a microphone and I want to use it to make calls. The problem is that when I speak into the microphone when a program like Skype is used, my sound suddenly crashes(The microphone won't take any input nor will I hear any sound from the speakers if I play a video or music. This gets fixed if I restart the computer). This also happens if I go to Sound preferences → Input or Output and edit something there.
If I don't make any of the above, the sound works just fine as I can listen to music and play videos.
I don't know much about computer hardware but here is some info about my sound card:

VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A[Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definifion Audio Controller) (rev 10)

I can't seem to get my computer to record the audio from an application... Sound Recorder, Audacity, and outRec all output files but they are just silence, even though when I see them in a media player they show the visualizations. I have followed a couple guides to no avail.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I echo the sound from the microphone to the speakers?
I.e., anything that is picked up by the microphone is played on the speakers immediately, without recording anything. Preferably with the ability to increase the volume.
I recently manage to make my microphone "work". I open the alsamixer and i unmuted the mic. Easy!!! But as i can hear my voice through the speakers i can't record. Actually i compare the alsamixer with the sound preferences. And what I notice is:
i)When i mute the output volume from the sound icon in the alsamixer is also muted.
ii)The same when I increase or decrease the volume.
iii)But in the input tab if I mute increase or decrease the volume nothing happens!
I can only mute unmute and change volume trhough the alsa mixer!
I use an Fujitsu siemens amilo pa 1510 with ubuntu 10.10 which I install from a pendrive.
I've tried to look for a solution for a few days now, and haven't had any results so far. I really hope you can help me so I can get to talk with my girlfriend.I'm running Lubuntu with 10.04 LTS, and alsa version 1.0.23 on Samsung NC10.Hardware works, soundcard is recognized by the OS, modules are loaded, alsamixer volume up and unmuted, sound output is ok, arecord or sound recorder don't get input.
- The microphone hardware works. Having the volumes up I hear the noise from the speakers when tapping the microphone.
- Soundcard is recognized by OS (and like I said, music and all other sound output is perfectly fine)
