2019-07-24 Thread Charles M
Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone else has run into issues recently trying to record on Xubuntu 19.04. This evening I recorded a video in OBS and the audio stuttered quite a bit. At first I thought it might be the audio cable from my mixer to the mic port, so I chose the web cam as the mic source
