## I'm trying to capture an audio video feed (screen-cast) from my web browser and all screen-casting options I tried have the same issue:
# No sound is captured
-----------
### Platform
I'm using a near default install of Linx Mint KDE x64 Petra. The FLAC package is installed
Outputs of
cat /proc/asound/pcm
00-00: ALC270 Analog : ALC270 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1
00-03: HDMI 0 : HDMI 0 : playback 1
-------------
### My current process is
- open vlc and press Ctrl-C
- change Capture mode
to Desktop
- Change Desired fame rate
to something reasonable (24 f/s)
- Check Show more optoions
- Change Caching
to 0
- check Play another media synchronously
## I think the problem is in this next step:
- In the Extra media
field I've tried entering alsa://plughw
or alsa://hw:0,0
as specified here .
- I've also tried browsing for my audio device:
- I clicked Capture Device
tab
- Next to Capture mode
I selected Video for Linux 2
- Next to Audio device name
I chose hw;0,0
- I then pressed select
**However, when I'm retured to the Open Media
window, the text next to Extra media
is filled in with v4l2://
with no references to the audio device.**
Following this, I click the drop down next to play
and choose convert and set the profile to Video - Theora + Flac (OGG)
and set my destination file to .ogg
and hit start
and launch the webpage I want to record. The video comes out fine, but there is no audio.
**Note:**
As VLC's user-base is likely much larger than any other option I've tried, I've decided to restrict my focus to solving this issue for VLC but am not opposed to other solutions aside from the obvious bridging of the headphone and mic jacks via an 3.5mm audio cable.
