I have tried every program I can find: recordmydesktop, simplescreenrecorder, kazam, istanbul desktop recorder, and more that I can't remember. None of these programs record any sound, despite me trying every imaginable setting. Some immediately crash, some never save an output file, and some just record a black frame.
The most promising seems to be simplescreenrecorder, because at least it all works besides having no sound. What do I need to do to get one of these programs fully working?
Part of this may be complicated by me having both analog and digital audio outputs, because I have an HDMI video card that I do not use the sound from. I have no idea how to configure the audio recording to work with this particular setup. There don't seem to be any obvious options related to this in simplscreenrecorder.
With simplescreenrecorder, when I choose JACK, it errors out: "could not connect to JACK"
When I choose ALSA, it errors out: "can't open PCM device"
When I choose PulseAudio, either the monitor or non-monitor records no sound.
Also, Settings show no sound input devices at all. Is this part of the problem and how can I fix it?
Why is this so hard to get working? I have a fully updated 16.04 installation.
