Thanks. I’ve updated kernel, no success though.
Moreover, I had the same problem on new and old (ca. 2008) laptop.
Or maybe it is because I’m using live-USB? However webcam is working OK, so I don’t know why the mic is not.
In the output of simplescreenrecorder I spotted the
[PulseAudioConnect] Error: Could not connect! Reason: Connection refused
It is possible that your system doesn't use PulseAudio. Try using the ALSA backend instead.
So I reinstalled pulseaudio from command-line. Then searched the web and found () that I can try
plulseaudio -k and pulseaudio --start and sudo pulseaudio --system -D To start daemon.
Now simplescreenrecorder is NOT showing pulseaudio error but still I’m not able to record sound.
I’ve played with pulseaudio settings and increased value on the Input slider (volume?).
Now it records some white noise.
