Apologies for hijacking a thread - I'm trying again. I wonder if anyone else can confirm this observation... I find that audio files recorded using Sound Recorder (in F10) are often defective, with little bits of sound alternating with silence. The pattern made by the gaps seems random. But sometimes things work as they should. I have just worked out a "recipe" for getting things to work every time (I hope!) but it seems more like black magic... 1) Set Sound Capture (in Sound Preferences) to Pulse Audio 2) Open the Pulse Audio volume control (Applications menu). If you choose the tab for input you can see the volume control and a vu-meter, which is useful, but there is no need to do anything provided the meter registers an input. 3) Start recording. 4) Stop recording and playback - should sound ok. If I omit step 2 the sound is usually crappy Why? -- Noel James Bridge <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
