I can confirm this bug on Intrepid on a Dell M1330: $ uname -a Linux pegasus 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:40:41 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ lspci | grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) $ head -5 /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 Codec: SigmaTel STAC9228 Address: 0 Vendor Id: 0x83847616 Subsystem Id: 0x10280209 Revision Id: 0x100201 However, I have noticed that killing pulseaudio solves the problem for me. - With PulseAudio running and either "HDA Intel STAC92xx Analog (ALSA)" or "PulseAudio Sound Server" selected for sound capture in gnome-sound- properties, gnome-sound-recorder shows a single recording channel (Capture) and the recorded sound is faint. - With PulseAudio running and any other sound capture device selected in gnome-sound-properties (HDA Intel OSS, ALSA, or OSS), gnome-sound- recorder reports recording 15 minutes of sound per second. (Then I usually kill it.) - After issuing "pactl exit", the settings in gnome-sound-properties do not matter anymore. Now, gnome-sound-recorder always lists all ALSA recording channels (in my case they are Capture, Capture 1, Capture 2, Digital, Mux, Mux 1 and Mux 2). Then, I can turn up the Digital channel in alsamixer (I'm recording from the built-in microphone), after which the recording is fine (from the Capture channel). -- hda sound records very poorly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
