How can I record the sound output with gtk-recordmydesktop?
I managed to get it going with the steps on the Ubuntu Forums, for clarity here is what I did:
sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop pavucontrol- Opened the Pulse Audio Volume Control dialog:
Applications > Sound & Video > PulseAudio Volume Control - Opened gtk-recordmydesktop
- In gtk-rmd advanced preferences, "Sound" tab, set "Device" to
pulse - In gtk-rmd start a recording
- In Volume Control goto the Recording tab and change the recordmydesktop entry to 'Monitor of '
This is what seems to have worked for me.
All I had to do was change DEFAULT to pulse in by: Advanced button > Sound tab > Device:.
If you use Pulseaudio, there is a howto in the Ubuntu Wiki. It basically boils down to using the pulse audio mixer, to re-route the sound from its source to audacity where it is saved instead of the default output (which would be you speakers).
