Sound Recorder appears to work fine in 8.04.1, but not in 8.10 beta.
Here are the details:
*** Sound Preferences dialog (System | Preferences | Sound)
Settings:
Sound Events, Sound Playback: Autodetect.
Music and Movies, Sound Playback: Autodetect.
Audio Conferencing
Sound playback: Autodetect.
Sound capture: ALSA
Default Mixer Tracks, Device: Intel 82801DB-ICH4 (Alsa mixer)
The above settings are the same for me for 8.04.1 and 8.10 beta.
8.04.1: All the Sound Preferences dialog Test buttons work fine, but the
Sound capture Test button launches a Testing Pipeline dialog that does
nothing and dismisses immediately with OK.
8.10 beta: The Sound capture Test button launches the Testing Pipeline
Testing dialog which hangs for quite some time when you hit OK. top
indicates gnome-sound-pro is using 90% CPU during this time.
*** Volume Control (Mixer)
Double-clicking on the speaker icon in the upper right corner of the screen
gives me the Volume Control: Intel 82801DB-ICH4 (Alsa mixer) window.
8.04.1: Mic working. I can turn up the microphone level here and hear myself in
the headphones.
8.10 Beta: Mic working. I can turn up the microphone level here and hear myself
in the headphones.
Going into the Volume Control preferences (8.04.1: Edit | Preferences;
8.10 beta: Preferences button) allows me to check Capture in the list
which then gives me a Recording tab in the volume control dialog and a
capture control.
8.04.1: The capture control lets me adjust the recording level from low to high
and there is a capture mute button to turn off recording.
8.10 beta: The capture microphone icon indicates mute. Not sure if this was by
default. I've unmuted this and turned it all the way up.
*** Sound Recorder
8.04.1: Sound Recorder plays back the four formats fine.
8.10 beta: Sound Recorder plays back the four formats fine.
8.04.1: With Sound Recorder I was able to record a small 2-3 second sound file
in each of the four possible formats.
8.10 beta: When recording with Sound Recorder, the time goes by far too quickly
in the Length: field. E.g. when recording an .oga format file for 10
seconds, the Length shoots up to 35 minutes and 44 seconds. The speed at
which it shoots depends on the format. It appears to be writing out a fixed
number of silent bytes per second. Once you press stop, Sound Recorder hangs
for a while with top showing 90% cpu for gnome-sound-rec. Playing back the
resulting recording yields silence for the unusually long duration of the
recording.
