When I started using Linux this year to record some videos from online, there was sound, and when I used various video recording programs like Ka-Bam, Simple Screen recorder, and a few others found in the POP OS store…there was sound in the recordings.
The video recorders were so good at recording that it even recorded me making noises in the background unlike Cyberlink Screen Recorder (That is only on Microsft) where it only records the video on the computer along with noise in the video, and not me making noise in the background.
Then suddenly a while back something happened to my Linux where after I recorded a video from online, and I played it in VLC there is no noise like at all unlike before where there was sound that came with the video recording.
I tried going through every option in my VLC, and there was no fix to the lack of noise in my video recordings or old ones.
I then tried using a different video program on Linux like Dragon Player, and there is still no noise in my videos I recorded?
What the heck happened, why can’t I record a video with noise?
October 11, 2024 at 1:17 pm #325379As someone who has been in tech for a very long time. Here some advice. Linux? Awesome for a server that has a specific purpose as most servers do. But general use like a desktop? Windows is just far less trouble. The only people I know who use Linux as a daily driver (who don’t hate life) are developers because it saves them time to always be in a Linux environment. But if you play games and do audio/video stuff, I find Windows much less hassle. And that is not because I don’t know Linux. I use it everyday, just not as my desktop.
October 13, 2024 at 9:46 am #325422As Vknid says, using Linux daily you’ll encounter with many trails, my brother also a tech savant(windows/Smartphones) but he hates Linux with passion because it doesn’t work easy as Windows he’s a very smart guy but doesn’t have time to spend learning and getting it to work, you could say since the OS is Free won’t cost money but It’ll cost you to invert a lot of time to make it work correctly.
About your issue check your alsamixer (is the terminal command for the sound card) I hope your distro have it, and check the capture view, depending on you hw you’ll see the options and sliders to check the volume of your capture device. ( I won’t add screencaps since the posts won’t get approved)
If for some reason your distro doesn’t have alsamixer, try OBS there are some options there to try to enable the audio on your capture device under the advance audio properties once you add mic/auxiliary audio such as selecting audio monitoring will bring sound of the device.
If you’re willing to keep using Linux I commend you but remember I’ll never be as easy as windows, you’ll need a lot of patience and time to figure out what’s happening and some times some components will fail without you not even knowing what happened.
