I can confirm that this issue exists and is affecting multiple USB Microphones and sound-cards. My friend has a Blue Snowball Mic and I have an MAudio USB Soundcard. Both refuse to work on Audacity or even using arecord. While both work when recording using some online DAW!! This has been very frustrating indeed.
Further, one interesting thing I found was the Ubuntu Studio release based 20.04 doesn't have any issues at all. I tried a live installation and everything works fine there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878062 Title: USB Mic (Blue Yeti) not detcted in Audacity or Ardour Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I recently upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu 20.04 (from 19.10), which I use for recording podcasts using Audacity. The Sound Settings allow me to select the Yeti, and the monitor graphic shows lots of activity when I scratch the mic with my nails. Since the upgrade Audacity will only record from the built in mic. It's not available as a recording input at all, and selecting "default" (which is what I usually do) uses the inbuilt mic. Regardless of what the Sound Settings have selected. I tried Ardour and I could only get it to record using the built in mic. While I can select the Yeti when I start the app, I can't get it to actually register that any sound is coming in at all. I tried gnome-sound-recorder, which recorded audio from the Yeti without any issues. Unfortunately it's doesn't have any of the features I need. arecord also works with issue. I'm kinda going insane here, I've never had any issues like this before, but it suddenly seems that any halfway decent recording apps just don't want to talk to the Yeti. Is there something I'm missing, has something changed in how 20.04 handles sound devices now? Is there anything I can do to trouble shoot this?
