I just tested again.
In Hardy (well, gNewSense):
asoundconf set-default-card foo
Start Sound Recorder = error about multimedia settings
In Intrepid:
asoundconf set-default-card foo
Start Sound Recorder = no error
Recording from input Capture works.
So it looks like it's fixed in Intrepid.

I had this message in Ubuntu 8.04 when I tried to launch Applications Sound

I went to System Preferences Sounds and in 'Audio Conferencing' I changed
the option 'ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture' to 'PulseAudio Sound

Anyway, most end users (including

I got it to work but I am not sure how. I think what I did was: System -

Then, in the Sound Prefrences, I went to Audio conferencing and selected

However, the mic sound is not good, it is very soft. I played with the volume
Please try some lower-level access to your soundcard (I suppose that
gnome-sound-recorder goes over ESD?), by running speaker-test

speaker-test -c 2

please try also:
I am new and lost... I have the same problem. This is what I get:

Finally I have it working selecting in the Audio Capture in

Let me add another reason that it is an unhelpful error message:
*** What is meant by in the Multimedia settings? ***
I am running LInux Mint 4.0 (basically Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon with extra
codecs), and my Gnome menu doesn't list any program called Multimedia.
So what am I supposed to fiddle with?
I wrote:
Usually restarting Sound Recorder works okay; but today I am getting the
error
message immediately whenever I start Sound Recorder.
Well, that turns out to be because I already had another copy of Sound Recorder
running (oops).
So a more helpful error message in this case would be
It is very usuful to launch gnome-source-record with debug options:
gnome-sound-recorder --gst-debug-level=2

This may sound silly but I was hit by this annoying error message until
I enabled Software Sound Mixing (ESD) under
System-Preferences--Sound--Sounds Tab. The sound recorder didn't work
for me without this option. Now everything is fine!

Your audio capture settings are invalid.
I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 and there is nothing called Multimedia settings.
Furthermore, why shouldn't it tell me exactly what it considers
invalid. I can't get it to record anything. It's a useless program for
me. I have no idea what to set to what to get it to work. I follow the
instructions and
^rooker - It might make sense to file a separate bug for the USB headset
issue, which would probably affect anyone who is removing a sound device
that is set as the default. Resolving this bug may ease the problems
of USB headset users, but it may not make things entirely intuitive yet.

The USB headset was just an example.
This bug report here is actually about the errormessage in gnome-sound-
recorder, but the problem causing this error to appear occurs *very*
often - and it might be more important to fix the source than the
symptom, so bug-details about what causes it maybe
Regarding Ubuntu/Gnome, it's currently even *if* I am aware of un-sane
sound device settings, the only existing frontent (gnome sound settings)
suggests that it can be used to select/change the default device, but in
fact does nothing in most of the cases.
Maybe I should check if there's some

FYI, this bug is trivially reproducible by doing the following on the
command line:

I found this link ( http://l10n-status.gnome.org/gnome-2.18/PO/gnome-

back to the source code that actually uses it. I will do so myself if

In that case, I should say here that IF the errormessage would have been
similar to the one I got from alsamixer, I would have solved things faster:
Cannot find soundcard 'default'...
Because that told me that my system was trying and failing to resolve
some card labeled default.

I had the same problem and I think I know how I produced it:

IBM Thinkpad X24 with Onboard soundcard Intel 82801CA-ICH3, running Ubuntu

Audio was working properly until I attached an external USB headset. I've tried

One Logitech and one from CMedia.
Logitech didn't work,
I fixed it.
The problem was that the ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf entry for the default
soundcard was broken:

!defaults.pcm.card default
defaults.ctl.card default
defaults.pcm.device 0
defaults.pcm.subdevice -1

This issue is a little similar to bug 67998. I solved another problem
(see my message on that bug report) by issuing (essentially) the same
commands as you did, ^rooker.
These are not the same bug, though, as this report refers to the lousy
error message given by gnome-sound-recorder.

I still don't know what I did wrong to make this error message begin

perhaps what I need to do to make gnome-sound-recorder work again.

Would you like me to forward
