Hello,

open gnome-sound-recorder and record something but after pushing the stop button choose the menu item File ->save as

I hope I can reactivate this thread...
I have exactly the same problems as described above, except for that it's not a plug issue. The mic I plug in doesn't work but then the internal built-in one doesn't work either. And I can't speak on skype. Everything was working until I downloaded a whole bunch of automatic upgrades (I can't recall which ones, there was a whole list). If anyone could help, that'd be great. Thanks.
