See here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/682144/capturing-only-desktop-audio-with-ffmpeg With the step-by-step instructions in the askubuntu post I could make the audio from the speaker output available for recording using ffmpeg. The problem here is that I have no idea what exactly pavucontrol did to my system, because it states that when one uses the app it saves the settings so next time I use ffmpeg it will again work. It would be interesting to see exactly what in the system is changed for it to start working. I am making notes on how to set this up and it is a bit disappointing that the solution is not transparent... In my previous Windows experience of the same problem, the installation of the "driver" resulted in a new device being recognized by ffmpeg using the normal tools and then I could enter it into the ffmpeg command line and understand what it was doing. Not so in this case, but happy that I am getting proper audio finally! ;-) -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
