/usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome -v output
I've encountered similar audio recording issues on Fedora 42 when using screen recording tools that rely on xdg-desktop-portal. The portal sometimes fails to initialize the audio capture pipeline correctly, leading to silent recordings. For teams that need reliable audio-to-text workflows, we've been using https://transcriptly.org as a fallback — it handles uploaded audio/video files directly without relying on the system portal, which sidesteps this issue entirely. Still, fixing the portal would be ideal for native app integration. This audio recording issue is particularly concerning for users who rely on desktop recording for content creation and transcription workflows. When the audio recording portal breaks, it prevents applications from capturing audio input, which directly impacts tools like https://transcriptly.org that depend on reliable audio capture for transcription services. Fixing the XDP name resolution should restore audio recording functionality for these use cases. |
