Try changing the recording sample rate in the preferences dialog. Often the problem is that alsa reports that it is capable of handling a particular audio rate, but when you actually try to record it doesn't work.
If none of the available audio rates work, then you might want to consider testing out our SVN version which has a new autodetect audio rate feature which has fixed this problem for a few people. -- Error message when attempting to record https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121667 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
