kazam1.4-2 loose audio recording after several seconds

[Sasa Paporovic]

Hi,

I have installed the latest kazam from the project ppa in Ubuntu12.10 Quantal 64bit.

Unfortunalety there occures are problem with the audio recording, which I also can observe with the kazam1.0 version which resides in the official quantal repositories.

A vido recording with audio recording enabled looses the sound recording after several seconds.

Sometimes it is arround 90 sec, the last time it was less than 30 sec until there was no sound recorded anymore.

The video recording is still running.

The video I have created will be attached.

Additional:

After enabling the kazam ppa

sudo apt-get update

followed by

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

was performed.

A newstart of the system even so.

I have tested several configurations for kazam(like auto saving, video formats,...). Everytime the same result. So, this is highly reproducible on my machine.

I use a logitech usb microphne for the recording.

Kazam is using same mechanism for recording audio, no matter what settings you use. The only thing that matters is just encoder setting, which also selects a container. WebM for VP8 and MP4 for H264. Audio is always recorded with the same parameters.

Do you have any other sound sources you could try?

What happens if you capture something with some MP3 playing in the background?

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

I have switched to Ubuntu 13.04 raring 64bit and used the kazam 1.4.2 version which is originally incorporated there -> main repositorie(disablec the kazam ppa).

With this version and the different sound source "Sound from internal speacer" and while playing rhythembox internet radio(have no .mp3 here) it is the same result.

Output format is still webm.

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

I have tested the same as in commnet #5 with the exeption that I have used this time .mp4 as result format and not webm anymore.

The sesult is the same. Loosing of audio recording after several seconds.

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

To summarise:

The problem is independent of sound sources and output format as could be seen from the previous commnets.

Fullfill the performed tests your requirements?

[Sasa Paporovic (melchiaros)]

the same with kazam 1.4.3 from stable ppa installed on raring.

Could it be that

is a dub of this herre, or the other way arround?

If so, you have the check with this report you have requested from Nicolas there.
