Public bug reported: I am trying a simple test using a loopback sound device.
pacat -r -d alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor \ --latency=1msec \ | pacat -p -d alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo \ --latency=1msec I use the above command. This is to take the microphone input and write it to the loopback device. (this is just a test. once I have this working, I plan to pipe through sox to modify the sound) I find that when I do this and record, I get no sound at all. If I record directly from the microphone, then the recording does have sound. I am using Ubuntu 14.4.3 ** Affects: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1483816 Title: problem using loopback sound device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1483816/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
