Impossible to record while using bluetooth headset. #282

Open maurizio-ferreira opened 2 months ago

maurizio-ferreira commented 2 months ago

If I'm using a bluetooth headset I cannot record anything because I receive the following error: failed to set "device" property of element "sys_sound": get_default_monitor_name () failed.

Not just headsets, but any bluetooth output device I think. It happened to me when I had my laptop connected to a bluetooth receiver/adapter (broadcasting in stereo to an analog speakers sound system).

When it happens, you get this error dialog in the GUI:

In the terminal, we get this:

WARNING **: 12:20:48.451: Recorder.vala:333: default_sink is null

I'm sorry for my late response. Unfortunately I don't have audio devices that connect with Bluetooth and have never tested Reco with one. I'll prepare one and investigate…
