Since it's cleaned on login, and I didn't know about .xsession-errors I couldn't get any info from there. I've tried reproducing the error, since I know exactly which Icon I dragged where - but it seems that the starting situation matters, too. But there seems to be something fishy with dragging URL references into gnome drawers, anyway: I remember that on another computer (but that one was running Edgy), dragging an URL from a browser to a panel made other objects in that drawer lose their icon - it became a question mark in a 45° rotated square, just like it does when you enter a wrong filename for an icon.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss the reason for this "bug".

On ubuntuforums.org, I see at least 2 posts a day which are a direct result of this problem - The solution is almost always to use "asoundconf set-default-card xxx" in order to point it at the right soundcard.

Since it's cleaned on login, and I didn't know about .xsession-errors I couldn't get any info from there. I've tried reproducing the error, since I know exactly which Icon I dragged where - but it seems that the starting situation matters, too. But there seems to be something fishy with dragging URL references into gnome drawers, anyway: I remember that on another computer (but that one was running Edgy), dragging an URL from a browser to a panel made other objects in that drawer lose their icon - it became a question mark in a 45° rotated square, just like it does when you enter a wrong filename for an icon.

Luckily (ur unfortunately, since I couldn't reproduce it anymore) I've had this happening only once - but after reading myself into the gconf- structure of the gnome-panel, I saw that there's an incredible mess in the panel configuration itself: I've played around with those neat panel-drawers before my objects disappeared.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss the reason for this "bug". The actual cause is in 99% of all cases, that the alsa alias "default" is pointint at an invalid (e.g. unplugged USB headset) sound device. On ubuntuforums.org, I see at least 2 posts a day which are a direct result of this problem - The solution is almost always to use "asoundconf set-default-card xxx" in order to point it at the right soundcard. Maybe it would make sense to fix the handling in gnome's sound settings, because if they would work correctly, people would probably sort things out themselves - in 2mins.

[Bug 61211] Wrong location for this bug report?
I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss the reason for this "bug". The actual cause is in 99% of all cases, that the alsa alias "default" is pointint at an invalid (e.g. unplugged USB headset) sound device. On ubuntuforums.org, I see at least 2 posts a day which are a direct result of this problem - The solution is almost always to use "asoundconf set-default-card xxx" in order to point it at the right soundcard. Maybe it would make sense to fix the handling in gnome's sound settings, because if they would work correctly, people would probably sort things out themselves - in 2mins. Currently you "can" choose the right soundcard there in the dropdown settings, but it almost never updates the "default" alias.

The USB headset was just an example. This bug report here is actually about the errormessage in "gnome-sound- recorder", but the problem causing this error to appear occurs *very* often - and it might be more important to fix the source than the symptom, so bug-details about "what causes it" maybe should go somewhere else (gnome sound settings?).

[Bug 61211] Re: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." is a really unhelpful error message
I had the same problem and I think I know how I produced it: Hardware: IBM Thinkpad X24 with Onboard soundcard "Intel 82801CA-ICH3", running Ubuntu 6.06.1 Audio was working properly until I attached an external USB headset. I've tried 2: One Logitech and one from CMedia. Logitech didn't work, but CMedia did - so I selected CMedia headset as sound device from "System > Preferences > Sound Preferences" I only had this headset attached temporarily. Now sound in gnome is behaving quite strange: - sound during boot: yes - sound in Totem: yes - sound recorder: no (with error) - audacity: no errors, but recording is broken and played back in other players with bad resampling artefacts.
