vokoscreenNG is a powerful screencast creator in many languages to record the screen, an area or a window (Linux only). Recording of audio from multiple sources is supported. With the built-in camera support, you can make your video more personal. Other tools such as systray, magnifying glass, countdown, timer, Showclick and Halo support will help
[X ] For recording issues, have you included logs from vokoscreenNG after "Start" and "Stop"?
Describe the bug
After upgrading to Kernel 5.18 (Debian Backports) I cannot record with vokoscreen-ng and external sound card plugged in. It starts normally pressing the Stop Button does nothing. The file it writes to is 0 bytes.
Only thing I can do is kill the app or plug out the sound card which results in vokoscreen writing a very small file with 1 second image.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Plug in external soundcard (in my case via USB-C)
Click on 'Start'
Record for a minute or a few seconds
Press the 'Stop' button
Expected behavior
It should stop and write the recorded video and audio.
Additional context
When unplugging the external soundcard it stops and writes 1 second file.
I also tried executing the gst-launch-1.0 line and it also resulted in a freeze.
It smells a bit like a kernel bug maybe. But I want to document the issue here aswell.
Maybe it lacks access to the soundcard or the soundcard is blocking something.

Log messages I attached a log file. As it freezes there too I am not sure it is helpful. I unplugged my soundcard at the end this is the point where it unfreezes itself and prints "Stop recording" lines. Also attached is the gstreamer log gstreamer-freeze-kernel518-on-ctrl-c.txt vokoscreenNG-kernel518-freeze-on-stop.txt
