** Description changed: Ok, this is my first bug report, so be gentle, please :P :D . I have browsed and haven't found precisely what is going on with my case. By the way, I already reported this on: Bug 578174 – gnome-volume-control mutes my audio (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578174) I am actually using a USB hard-drive on a Dell Optiplex 755 (I may use some other configuration). My OS is Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) with 2.6.28-13 kernel This computer has the intel 82801I (ICH9) sound card. I haven't updated anything regarding sound (only the codecs). The issue is that whenever I try to record with the gnome-sound-recorder (from Audacious), I get a VERY low volume. At first, I was not even able to record anything, so I started to play around with the sound configuration. This is what I have found out that by: (1) going to Volume Control (the little speaker we all know) - (2) clicking on Preferences and set Front Mic, Front Mic Boost, Mic and Mic Boost + (2) clicking on Preferences and set Front Mic, Front Mic Boost, Mic, Mic Boost, Capture and Capture1 (3) closing (3) going to System > Preferences > Sound (4) set everything to ALSA (even the last option; the mixer) (4.a) you can set everything to PulseAudio, but make sure to change your configuration at Audacious as well (5) going back to the Volume Control (6) turning up Mic and Mic Boost all up (7) turning up Front Mic and Front Mic Boost all down (if you don't, you get white noise or even a horrendous BEEEP) + (8) going to the Recording tab and turning up Capture and Capture1 all up (the little X will never go away) (8) open gnome-sound-recorder (from terminal or the Sound/Video menu in Applications) (9) start playing anything on Audacious (10) start recording from gnome-sound-recorder Then you'll get a very faint reproduction of what you were playing. I have seen that most people have problems with their microphones, but I think it is not just a Mic issue. I think this bug can be related to PulseAudio, ALSA or some other multimedia package. By the way, if you would like to try using Audacity and giving a fix for that as well, please? I don't know how to get my ALSA version nor PulseAudio, but I am pretty sure they are the default ones for Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). I obviously like the sound to be recorded at a decent level, and it is evident by now what happened (following the guidelines, only)
