Hi
I am a newbie to Linux. I tried to record my desktop by using Xvidcap, but the audio volume is too low in the output file. Actually I want to add a background song to my video. I tried with GNOME-Sound-Recorder but again same results. Any suggestions?
My system’s ALSA audio script results is located here :

Thank you!!
PS: Excuse my English…
I recommend you tune your mixer better:
!!Amixer output
!!-------------
**!!-------Mixer controls for card 0 **[SB]
Card hw:0 ‘SB’/‘HDA ATI SB at 0xfe024000 irq 16’
Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC1200’
Simple mixer control ‘Front Mic’,0
Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] -34.50dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] -34.50dB] [on]

Front Right: Capture 0 [0%] -16.50dB] [on]
Simple mixer control ‘Input Source’,0
Items: ‘Mic’ ‘Front Mic’ ‘Line’
Item0: ‘Front Mic’
Simple mixer control ‘Input Source’,1
Items: ‘Mic’ ‘Front Mic’ ‘Line’
Item0: ‘Mic’
In all places but one you have playback and capture at 0%.
For tuning I recommend the application arecord and only once tuned use xvidcap.
Note when testing your mic, I recommend you use a terminal with this command:
arecord -vv -fdat foo.wav
“foo.wav” is an arbitrary name I made up. Instead you could call it mydell.wav or thewindblows.wav or anything …
Thank you oldcpu!
I will try with arecord
