I confirm the problem reported on the post with the same pathology. I can save the file only using "save as" , "save" doesn't work as well as the playback button.
I suggest to have an high priority for this bug if further confirmed. Generally who wants to test a microphone uses a sound recorded program (gnome-sound-recorded). Without been able to playback the sound he could assume a problem on the driver or on hardware. ** Changed in: gnome-media (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- gnome-sound-recorder unable to playback https://launchpad.net/bugs/92879 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
