Have you tried Audacity? I think that can play and record at the same 
time if that is what you are after...

 I think the combination of pavucontrol and pavumeter should cover your
 needs I could be wrong though.
 

Hi Dave

I gave it a try as you suggested. 

The pavumeter just gives you another visual representation of the levels set in 
the pavucontrol. It doesn't actually provide any additional settings 
unfortunately.

[ubuntu-uk] Audio Question

2015-08-18 Thread Nigel Verity
Hi

I have a requirement to provide some amplification for a speech. I have a good 
USB microphone and a small performance amplifier. So far so good.

The amplifier has a standard input jack but as far as I can see it is not 
possible to buy a simple adaptor to allow a USB mike to be used. Since the USB 
microphone works fine for recording sound on my laptop, and the laptop makes a 
good audio source for the amplifier, why not just use the laptop as an 
interface unit?

The problem I'm having is that I can record sound from the mike and play it 
back in separate operations , but I can find no way of monitoring input from 
the microphone during the recording.

I am running Ubuntu MATE 15.04 and using the Pulse Audio Volume Control to 
select inputs and outputs.

Any suggestions, please?
