Recording sound from Speakers

[daniell59]

I would like to record the sound coming out of my speakers. Using sound recorder I am able to record sound with the microphone. Is is possible to use sound recorder to record sound coming out of the speakers? I tried different imputs. Nothing has worked.

Ubuntu 12.04 64

[Unterseeboot_234]

There is a Gnome applet, either sound-recorder or audio-recorder. I found sound-recorder on these Ubuntuforums board. So, I googled 'ubuntu sound-recorder' and see the same applet with both of the names I'm mentioning.

Audio recorder will do it. Use this ppa:

Try audio-recorder, not in the standard repos but available from https://launchpad.net/~osmoma/+archi...rder/+packages which very easily lets you choose to record the sound either from your mic or from the soundcard audio-output, as shown in my screenshot..

You can do it with sound-recorder as well but it is a bit more involved; you need to start recording with the sound-recorder application, then go into pulseaudio-volume-control and choose "Monitor etc etc" (exact wording depends on your hardware, I think). Only when actually recording do you get the choice of hardware to use as the recording input with sound-recorder, but the audio-recorder package sorts all that out for you quickly.

I appreciate the link. It is confusing to me. I don't have a clue on how to install it.
Any additional assistance will be appreciated.

Record what comes out of your speakers it's a little dated, but may still work.

NOTE: Audio Recorder needs pulse audio to be installed to work. The tag on your post says Lubuntu, but at the end of your post I see "Ubuntu 12.04 64". IF you are really using Lubuntu, it does not have the pulse audio package installed by default. In that case, the procedure below will also install the pulse audio sound package if it is not already present on your system. Ubuntu 12.04 already has it by default, so no problem.

Installation:

Use the terminal:
First, add the ppa (some useful information about audio recorder is shown first):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:osmoma/audio-recorder

Second, update the software sources:

sudo apt-get update

Third, Install:

sudo apt-get install audio-recorder

Sorry for the mistake. I have Ubuntu 12.04 64.
