Hello, I am recording my desktop with ffmpeg 1.2 using ALSA 1.0.26. The problem is I am recording audio from microphone whereas I would like to record audio from speakers. This is my command line: $ ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0,0 -f x11grab -s 640x480 -r 25 -i :0.0 /tmp/out.mpg This is information you may need to help me: $ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 2: VT1708S HP [VT1708S HP] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 $ aplay -L null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) default:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH, VT1708S Analog Default Audio Device sysdefault:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH, VT1708S Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, VT1708S Analog Front speakers surround40:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, VT1708S Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, VT1708S Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, VT1708S Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, VT1708S Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, VT1708S Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0 HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1 HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=2 HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3 HDA NVidia, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output $ amixer Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 -
