This how-to should show the steps required to record whatever audio is playing on your computer, similar to recording stereo mix in windows. This makes recording audio played by any application, including flash videos, possible. We are using the Sound Recorder application that comes in standard Ubuntu installations. To set this up using other programs (like audacity) just substitute it in these instructions. 1. Install pavucontrol (PulseAudio Volume Control) using apt-get or the Ubuntu Software Center. 2. Open PulseAudio Volume Control. It should be in the applications menu under Sound and Video. 3. Open Sound Recorder and start recording. Playing any sound at this point would be helpful, as your level indicator should react once you have finished. 4. Go to the Recording tab in the PulseAudio Volume Control window.

5. Make sure that Applications is selected in the drop down menu on the Recording tab. 6. Choose Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Atereo from the Record Stream from menu in the Sound Recorder entry of the application list. This appears to be persistent so that you will only have to do this once, but you will have to repeat these steps to record in another application. Source from here

Easier way here: Steps: 1. Install all restricted multimedia packages. 2. System---> Preferences----> Sound 3. Hardware tab, select ANALOG STEREO OUTPUT in PROFILES. 4. Play any music or flash vid from web. 5. Open Default Gnome sound recorder, Set to CD quality lossless [flac] or any format of ur preference. 6. Click RECORD. 7. Stop Recording and save file, use audacity or any program to edit and save in your favourite format.!!!! 2. Vivek Kapoor says: June 6, 2010 at 7:30 pm Thank you much for this tip. It was effortless and I was able to do it in first shot (though it looked a bit difficult to achieve initially). Wish it was there by default rather than requiring the need of installing another application. But nevertheless, it works well so its worth it. 3. rm24 says: June 7, 2010 at 2:00 pm Just beware of this: http://temporaryland.wordpress.com/2008/08/04/consumer-alert-sound-mix-intentionally-crippledlaptops/ 4. eha1990 says: June 8, 2010 at 2:59 am Thanks for this article. At least Ive solved how to record audio from my sound card now in Ubuntu. I still cant figure out how to record with Audacity though. Linux really needs to fix the problems with recording audio. Your article is a step in the right direction, but recording audio should work out of the box. 5. eha1990 says: June 8, 2010 at 3:06 am @Boratsuckdev - your solution solved my problem with recording in Audacity. Thanks a lot to everyone for contributing. I really appreciate helping me figure this out with your tips and suggestions. 6. MetEditor says: June 9, 2010 at 8:34 am

GG says: January 17, 2011 at 12:16 pm Thanks soooomuuuch, after installing a million and one apps finally sound recoder worked with above instartuction! 10. khroustaliov says: March 21, 2011 at 1:31 pm Thanks.
