I have confirmed that this issue is related to pulse audio because pkill pulseaudio causes the gnome sound recorder problems to go away.
This issue is not related to ALSA, so can someone please remove the relationships to the ALSA bugs? ** Summary changed: - built in mic not working on thinkpad x300 hda-intel on intrepid + pulse audio stops sound capture from working on thinkpad x300 hda-intel on intrepid ** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-image-generic The x300 has two sound capture interfaces: analog mic jack and built in digital mic. - - One thing that works is using the analog mic jack and OSS capture - method. If I choose the Alsa capture method, there are some problems. The first problem, is that the default gnome volume control tracks do not include anything to do with internal mic. After turning these on and enabling anything to do with the internal mic, unmuting capture, etc, the recording produces really strange behavior. Using sound recorder, a couple seconds after pressing record there is already almost 10 minutes of data captured, and the data is all silence. The installed kernel is linux-image-2.6.27-4-generic ** Tags added: pulseaudio -- pulse audio stops sound capture from working on thinkpad x300 hda-intel on intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
