Hmm, now Audacity is able to access the device to record, but it has no device to output to. So I'm able to record, with the Samsom or the webcam but unable to playback.
Gnome Sound recorder lists nothing as a possible input device, yet it should since it uses gstreamer. Gstr-properties lists both devices but doesn't record/playback anything when testing either. Gnome Sound recorder seems to lock the device but not record anything from it, i.e., clicking record doesn't create anything but unplayable seconds. But while it is open, I gst-launch-0.10 alsasrc=hw:1,0 ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! filesink location=input.ogg and get the warning: Device 'hw:1,0' is busy. With the Sound recorder closed, gst-launch can record. The Samsom has some weird configuration so the volume control actually don't do what they are expected to do. For example, full left and right channel give only left channel. -- Samsom C01U usb microphone doesn't work https://launchpad.net/bugs/92876 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
