How to capture sound in RecordMyDesktop from USB device

Post by Sethioz »

I had lot of problems to get sound capture working.
I'm using EyeToy PS2 camera, which has a built-in mic.

First when you run recordmydesktop, then under sound tab it says that Device is "DEFAULT"
default can be defined as "hw:0,0"
so when you put in "hw:0,0" instead of "DEFAULT", then its same.
My webcam's mic is "hw:1,0"
huh ? where i got it ?!

open terminal and type "alsamixer"
if you do not have it, then download it. either using "synaptic" or "apt-get" or whatever works for you

now in alsamixer press F2, this will show you info about devices.
there you will see what number your device is.
for me my cam is 1 as seen on the screenshot below
so you replace first 0 with 1 to use it.
replace "hw:0,0" with "hw:1,0"
