If a headset is connected the sound is still recorded from the speaker #27

Should record the sound going to the headset instead.

Ubuntu 16.04 Version: 2.1

I am recording the mic as well.

Sorry I couldn't understand a word from what you are saying.

Oh, sorry about that. If I am connecting my headphones to the laptop, and started the recording, the application doesn't capture the sound going to the headphones. After testing, I figured out that the application only records the sound going to the speakers.

I am suggesting adding an option to choose the sound source to capture the sound from. Or better capture the sound going to all output sounds.

The thing is I am not sure if there is any detection if the audio cable is connected or not.

Hope it is clear now.

Green Recorder listens only on the default channel you have on your system. If you are recording using pulseaudio, you could use pavucontrol to change the default channel into microphone/speakers or anything you want. Then Green recorder will automatically use it.

Ability to specify the channel is coming, but it takes a lot of effort.
