> HI all, > I haven't found a solution to this as of yet. I have specified the monitor as the default input in pavuvolumecontrol.

To look it up, do the following in a terminal: $ pactl list | grep monitor You need to install gstreamer-tools $ sudo apt-get install gstreamer-tools example: gst-launch pulsesrc device=alsa_output.pci_8086_284b_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0.monitor ! queue ! audioconvert ! wavenc ! filesink location=out.wav I have noticed that the ogg version saves the sound only in mono. There are other ways to do it with "pacat" but I wasn't been able to convert the raw audio file with sox, as it seems it is broken in ubuntu at the moment. If someone has a hint for another program to convert the raw audio I would appreciate it. Just for completeness I will give you an example how to use "pacat" $ pacat -r -d alsa_output.pci_8086_284b_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0.monitor test.pcm To play the recording do this: $ pacat test.pcm I hope this solves your problem.
