Pulseaudio ssr playonlinux #286

Hello everybody!

When I record using record entire screen for some reason when using playonlinux and record audio from monitor (pulseaudio) it doesn't record audio. I have checked that monitor is selected in pavucontrol. In other occasions like vlc playing a video it records audio just fine. Also audio in youtube doesn't work (if I am not recording of course it sounds just fine). I also had this problem (the youtube audio) on my laptop but I installed pulseaudio-alsa and then it worked. What I ve noticed is if I start playonlinux first and then start recording, the file size in ssr stays 0 B and no video is being recorder. It's like whichever app gets sound first that app keeps pulse for itself.

I know this might be pulseaudio's problem.

Thanks in advance! :)

Odds are Wine would be hogging the ALSA hardware device, rather than hogging PulseAudio. Check your settings in winecfg or something like that.

I agree with @iamgreaser, Wine is probably going directly to the hardware (e.g. by recording hw:0,0) when it should be using pulse (which should be the 'default' device in ALSA).

Ok...after a LOT of digging around I ve found the problem. There's something wrong with cinnamon's (and mate's) pulseaudio-alsa package. I ve uninstalled cinnamon and installed kde and then removed pulseaudio-alsa lib32-libpulse and lib32-alsa-plugins and installed again and everything is working again!!! :)
