From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030313 Description of problem: This is a repeat of bugs 85818, 88952, 80507, and 81850. I just wasn't able to add comments to those for whatever reason, so I am creating a "me too" new bug. Suffice it to say that gnome-sound-recorder does not work *at*all*. And this is true on both my machine at home and my machine at work. I installed RH9 from the ISOs available at ftp.redhat.com. I have not updated the gnome-media RPMs to be any newer than the RHL9 ISO RPMs. My soundcard: > lspci <snip! irrelevant hardware> 00:0d.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! MIDI/Game Port (rev 07) modules used: >lsmod <snip! irrelevant mods> emu10k1 68136 0 (autoclean) ac97_codec 13544 0 (autoclean) [emu10k1] Sound *does* come out just fine! Xmms and gnome-cd work, system sounds work, etc. Also, using "/usr/bin/record" at the command line worked well and produced good-sounding WAV files. According to the help documents (when you choose Help->Contents on the gnome-sound-recorder app) the gnome-sound-recorder should have some options that Redhat's shipped version does not have: Edit->Preferences (not there), Edit->Echo, etc. The whole "Edit" menu is not there! <soapbox>RedHat ships with a lot of items that do not work or are not explained correctly in the Help docs. They really shouldn't do that.</soapbox> Thanks for listening! later... -Jeff S. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-media-2.2.1.1-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Applications->Sound&Video->Sound Recorder 2.Click "Record" 3.Click "Stop" 4.Click "Save" or "Save As" or 4.Click "Play" Actual Results: Record - nothing appears to happen except the message changes to "Recording..." Save- 0 byte file is created Play - on first playback, just a loud static noise for 1/10th second, then nothing. Nothing happens on subsequent playback. Expected Results: Record - feedback showing that a sound is beig recorded. Save - this new WAV file is saved properly Play - this new WAV file is played properly Additional info:
We don't have any patches to the sound recorder or its docs, so all these issues were present in the upstream gnome-media release. I've forwarded many of them to bugzilla.gnome.org; if they aren't resolved by the next RHL release g-s-r will probably be removed as it looks bad to include broken stuff. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 85818 ***
Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated.
