Description Brian McNeil 2013-01-15 22:43:14 CET
Description of problem:
gnome-sound-recorder isn't working. The pull down for choosing flac, ogg, or wav doesn't list anything. Only capture is listed as a device. Volume control sees the mic (usb digital audio) just fine. Audacity works fine. It's been this way since installing M3B1 (64), and Cauldron updates to Jan 15, 2013 have not fixed it. It works fine in M2. I'm currently using the Gnome desktop on this beta install.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-sound-recorder 3.4.0, provided by gnome-media 3.4.0, 4.mga3 x86_64

How reproducible:
every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open gnome-sound-recorder, it won't work.
2.from the "file" pulldown, choose "open volume control"
3.verify settings are correct in volume control, recorder still won't work.
4. use audacity to check mic, it works fine.

Adding these worked for me too, thanks! Maybe it needs to be added as a dependancy.
Comment 6 Daniel Osmari 2013-06-26 20:02:05 CEST
Just an addendum for people who, like me, found a non-working gnome-sound-recorder on Mageia 3:

It depends on gstreamer 0.10. So if you installed the gstreamer 1.0 plugins, but no gstreamer 0.10 plugin, gnome-sound-recorder will be unable to even record raw .wav files.

Installing gstreamer0.10-flac is enough to let it show output formats.

Comment 7 Daniel Osmari 2013-06-26 20:28:31 CEST
Forgot to mention in the previous comment: no gstreamer 0.10 audio encoder is installed by default, so gnome-sound-recorder is broken by default.
Comment 8 Vilas Nangare 2013-07-04 08:23:18 CEST
CLI urpmi error no such package gstreamer 0.10 audio encoder
gstreamer0.10-flac already installed.gstreamer 0.10  already installed. But sound recorder is not working. Record from shows only Capture. Record as Disabled. I am also using Fedora 14 & Mandriva 2010.2. Everything is working in that Linux OS; not in Majeia 2 or 3.

I have the same issue. Sound recorder opens, but nothing happens. I can record and play back from Audacity without problem. 

When I try to open the volume control from within the app, I get an empty window. It appears to be trying to open the sound control within gnome-control-center, but nothing is there. 

If I try to open gnome-control-center from a console I get a blank window. the problem may be in gnome-control-center

Am using Mageia 3 x86_64

Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
