I can confirm that the Sound Recorder does not work on a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 x86 on a Dell laptop.
As a workaround I installed Audio Recorder from https://launchpad.net/~osmoma/+archive/audio-recorder $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:osmoma/audio-recorder $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install audio-recorder -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-media in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1157654 Title: Sound recorder does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/1157654/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
