Comment 39 for bug 131711

Same message with me ("Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat'"), recording-sound works better after formating and reinstall , but quality (Alsa) is very poor in my Gutsy-Gnome. Have installed vmware on it: there (with windows XP) the sound recording has highest quality in speech-to-text and skype-programs.
In Gutsy the sound produces heavy disturbing sounds (called knistern in german; bit like snoring).
