Hi,

From where you have installed the QT package RecordMyDesktop? This package does not appear in my repositories.

I tried the GTK frontend for RecordMyDesktop and it works fine for me. Have you tried the GTK frontend?

Can you launch recordmydesktop (without frontend) from a terminal and post here the output?

Can you play audio from other apps like smplayer or VLC?

I think that you have some problem with your audio setup. Have you checked the settings tab in pavucontrol?

Also, take a look to SDB:Audio troubleshooting
