  • Thanks man!

  • Your welcome

  • Thanks dude this really helped me out! Have been searching for hours with no luck and just happened to stumble on this How To. Many thanks!

  • No problem man, glad I could help

  • instead of installing skype, you guys can type aplay -l in the terminal to find out what card and device are available. Then, go to gtk-recordmydesktop and enter either 'hw:x,y' or 'plughw:x,y', where x is the card number and y is the device number.

  • Thank you, I have always wondered how in the world to do that!!!

  • @arionarian seems like there are some problem with Alsa, try to reinstall it. There's a guide on Ubuntu website on how to do it, you should check that out

  • @slump9x but this is my resut :

    ALSA lib conf.c:3312:(snd_config_hooks_­call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so

    ALSA lib control.c:882:(snd_ctl_open_no­update) Invalid CTL hw:0

    aplay: device_list:249: control open (0): No such file or directory

    My soundcard is ES1988 Allegro, first time using GTKRecordMyDesktop it's working, and now I can use it anymore, wat do you think?

  • how can i fix it when i have no sound!!!

  • What about recording sound from the desktop?

  • I tried to look for this program with YaST and there was no results! Help Please!

  • my problem is that when i talk to anyone at skype my sound from youtube and evrything else is gone it wasent like this before plis reply .

  • yea um if i can't get skype to work what do i do?

  • You don't need to install Skype to get sound working. WTF?
