sound problems with recordmydesktop

[wolfwood2x]

Please note that I am NOT trying to record sound with a microphone. Please do not link to the skype video.

I am trying to get sound recorded from the window application I am running. I have tried changing from Alsa to Pulse Audio and all that does is cause recordmydesktop to hang when encoding. I let it sit for 30 minutes on a 15 second video and it never moved from 0%

I have checked alsamixer and nothing is muted. I ran gtkrecordmydesktop and set sound to the Default device and it did not work at all.

What am I doing wrong?

He is NOT trying to record from the microphone.
That video is for people trying to record from the microphone.

In recordmydesktop I changed the Advanced>Sound>Device name from DEFAULT to default. (not sure if this is needed)
Then I installed pavucontrol using sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
Run pavucontrol and go to the recording tab while recordmydesktop is actively recording something, you will see an item called
'ALSA plug-in[recordmydesktop]:ALSA capture from'
You must change this to 'Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Stereo'
