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. -- sound recorder: false recording duration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279572 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
