My reasoning was that this wasn't a fix really but a coincidence that it now worked for gary with an upgrade. The problem he mentioned was that there is an unhelpful message to average users when there is a problem with the gnome sound recorder, and from my experience, there often are problems with it after updates, for example.
A frix would be a more helpful message, for example instructing users to enter gstreamer-properties in the terminal and check the settings. There is no way to enter those settings from System Preferences or Administration, not in any obvious way I know. How could an ordinary user know to do go to the terminal and enter gstreamer-properties from the error message? I happened to solve my problem by installing the pulse audio device chooser applet and tinkering with that until I got the sound-recorder to work. I don't mind wasting my time obsessing about this sort of stuff, but an ordinary user will give up much sooner. So that's why I thought marking this as "fix released" was inaccurate. Garygar got his sound to work, but not on the basis of any correction to the message that he got. There was no fix released for that! So it is not a "similar issue," it is strictly speaking the very same issue. -- Invalid audio capture settings in gnome-sound-recorder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172622 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
