Please try some lower-level access to your soundcard (I suppose that gnome-sound-recorder goes over ESD?), by running "speaker-test" (http://linux.die.net/man/1/speaker-test):
speaker-test -c 2 (This should output some white noise on your left/right speaker) if this works, please try also: speaker-test -c 2 -Ddefault (this should use the "default" alias for your soundcard) In case the above tests didn't work, please try to manually set the "default" alias in .asoundrc.asoundconf: # Make a backup of .asoundrc: cp .asoundrc.asoundconf .asoundrc.asoundconf.bak # Overwrite it with the following content: !defaults.pcm.card rev20 defaults.ctl.card rev20 defaults.pcm.device 0 defaults.pcm.subdevice -1 -- "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." is a really unhelpful error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/61211 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
