audio recorder does not show the line-in (input device) in the source drop down list
Hi Moma,
Audio recorder sources drop down lists:
-- Built-in Audio Analog Stereo (Microphone)
-- Built-in Audio Analog Stereo (Audio output)
-- System''s default device
-- User defined audio source
Using "Additional setting"
-- Built-in Audio Analog Stereo (Microphone)
-- Built-in Audio Analog Stereo (Audio output)
On PulseAudio Volume Control "Input Devices" -> "port:" drop down lists: ("Show:" is set to "All Except Monitors")
-- Microphone (plugged in)
-- Line In (plugged in)
How can I get the Audio recorder source list Line in (plugged in)?
Thanks
Mohammad

Hello,
Please take a listing of (recordable) source-devices with the pactl command:
$ pactl list | grep -A3 'Source #'
$ pactl list short sources | cut -f2
Can you see all devices in the list?
You may test and experiment with the devices from command line,
See: [Addition settings] -> Recording commands -> [Show Cmd] button.

Hello,
I guess no, I do not see it.
desktop:~$ pactl list | grep -A3 'Source #'
Source #0
State: IDLE
Name: alsa_output.
Description: Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo
--
Source #1
State: IDLE
Name: alsa_input.
Description: Built-in Audio Analog Stereo
desktop:~$ pactl list short sources | cut -f2
alsa_output.
alsa_input.
What should be changed, so "pactl list" lists the other port?
Thanks
Mohammad

R-hi Mohammad,
Does it work if you plugin your microphone to your system and record from "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" device? Its device ID is alsa_input.
The other device (alsa_output.
Osmo (moma) Antero
Portugal
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask Mohammad Sajedi for more information if necessary.
