Sound recorder records very fast, then freezes.

[Johannes Thoma]

After I installed a new sound card, sound recorder behaves as follows: When I press record the elapsed time display goes very fast (up to 30 minutes within 5 seconds). When I press stop then the application freezes and must be killed from outside.

recording works with the arecord and aplay command line tools.

Which version of ubuntu and gnome-sound-recorder are you using?
I can only confirm bug #35733 here.

[Johannes Thoma (johannes-thoma)]

Sound Recorder Version is 2.12.0
Ubuntu Version is 5.10

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

What sound quality do you use?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

no reply, bug closed. Feel free to reopen with a reply to the asked questions if you still have the issue

[Johannes Thoma (johannes-thoma)]

(sorry I thought I have already answered).

It happens with any of the CD quality and with WAV.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you still have that issue? Could you get a backtrace of the hang as described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace?

[Johannes Thoma (johannes-thoma)]

I cannot test it at the moment, because my sound card does not work.
What I will do is upgrade to 6.06 LTS by installing it newly from CD in
order to have a clean system for production use (after the dist-upgrade
some things didn't work afterwards so I have to install it from scratch
again). I will get back to you once I've done it (should happen around
ny eve).

Sebastien,

I now upgraded to Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and now everything works perfect.

Thank you for your software,

bug only shows up in new installation of ubuntu 8.10

[Vitaly (vbabiy86)]

I am also getting this in ubuntu 8.10 RC

[Sergei (Nolar) Vasilyev (nolar)]

Confirm this happens in 8.10, fresh and updated.

Can be fixed by setting Audio Source to PulseAudio (in `gnome-sound-properties` OR by `gconftool -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosrc pulsesrc`).

Similary, when no pulseaudio daemon is running, alsa works fine (does not set pulse as default pcm).

Seems this is something in alsa-pulse plugin.

this also happens in 8.10 final release fully updated as on 31/10/08.

i am using dell inspiron 1525

terminal output is..

Confirmed on Ubuntu 8.10 up to date as of November 3, 2008, at 00:08
Here's screenshots for you. This bug is 100% reliable and so sound recorder is totally worthless until fixed...

Also, because I cannot migrate from 8.04 until this main component of Ubuntu is functional, I have subscribed to this bug.
