More information would be helpful. Which program are you using to record your piano? Is it recording directly from alsa? or by using pulseaudio? (I would guess the second as your info says pulse audio is running... but, just checking) On your panel there is probably a sound icon that has "Sound Settings" at the bottom. Selecting that should give you pavucontrol, the pulseaudio volume control. The Input Devices tab should show what input is being used and allow you to select between mic and line input. You would want Line Input. There is a meter bar there too that should show your audio in when you play. If you have switched anything you may have to restart your recording application (audacity works well by the way) to get the new settings. The recording tab should show the application you are recording with when in record mode (record plus pause is useful to set levels with before starting to record). I am not using the same desktop as you are so my idea of how things look to you may not be exact. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1321330 Title: Cannot record piano Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have a piano and a laptop.
