Invalid audio capture settings in gnome-sound-recorder

output of "GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 GST_DEBUG=5 gnome-sound-recorder &>gnome-sound-recorder.txt"

Did you try to select another capture device in the gstreamer-properties? does it work there?

i upgraded to hardy alpha 1, and it its working.

It is found working on Hardy

I get the same message in Hardy 6 on a Dell C610 laptop
as I do in Gutsy on a Desktop and nothing I do seems to
make it work, although the Gnome sound recorder worked
in Feisty. The strange thing is that the mic works when using
Skype.

don't reopen a closed bug because you have a similar issue, open a new one rather

My reasoning was that this wasn't a fix really but a coincidence that
it now worked for gary with an upgrade. The problem he mentioned
was that there is an unhelpful message to average users when there
is a problem with the gnome sound recorder, and from my experience,
there often are problems with it after updates, for example.

A frix would be a more helpful message, for example instructing
users to enter gstreamer-properties in the terminal and check
the settings. There is no way to enter those settings from System
Preferences or Administration, not in any obvious way I know. How
could an ordinary user know to do go to the terminal and enter
gstreamer-properties from the error message?

I happened to solve my problem by installing the pulse audio device
chooser applet and tinkering with that until I got the sound-recorder to work.
I don't mind wasting my time obsessing about this sort of
stuff, but an ordinary user will give up much sooner. So that's why I
thought marking this as "fix released" was inaccurate. Garygar got
his sound to work, but not on the basis of any correction to the
message that he got. There was no fix released for that!

So it is not a "similar issue," it is strictly speaking the very same issue.
