Audio Adjustments to SimpleScreenRecorder?

[anon222]

I just installed simplescreenrecorder (ssr) and it works well. I have one audio query though. Bear in mind it's the first time I've used a screen recorder of any kind. When I record myself commenting on a youtube video with its audio playing, on playing back the ssr mkv file, the audio on youtube is so low I can't hear it. Other audio (ie me speaking) is fine. I've tried fiddling about eg increasing youtube video to max volume but it's still way too low even with laptop audio at max.

Any ideas?

Check out the online manual. There is a section on sound configuration.
https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/hardware.html#sound

If that doesn't help try changing the backend in the SimpleScreenRecorder's settings to ALSA.
Then you can adjust the alsa sound levels with this command:

Code: [Select]

alsamixerIt's a command line interface application and you can use the keyboard arrows to set the sound levels.
Left and right to choose an option and up and down to change.
Hope this helps. I don't have experiance with this application.
Perhaps someone familiar with this application would be more helpfull.

jnektar,

I've moved this post of yours from your Introductions section thread to here.

Please make separate thread posts for support issues in applicable sections of the forum.  It's much easier for everyone that way and also avoids one thread veering off in different directions.  You'll get your answers much quicker and people who might know the answer to your question are more likely to "see" your post when it has its own relevant title.

Thanks,

gold_finger.

You put a smile on my face this morning so we're quits bro, one thing you rarely get with videos is good feedback, you sussed the bits that matter, the good quality video and small size!

If I put it into Openshot to it will be 10 times as big which is OK for utube but I put that on dropbox so I wanted to keep the size down.

That one was recorded with Vokoscreen which is developed by a German team for Debian stable but it don't run on Ubuntu 14.04 respins but on 14.04 you can use Simplescreenrecorder(SSR) which is equally as good but lacks the webcam bit at the moment.

I posted a link to a video on a forum a few years back from a live streaming webcam of bald eagles nesting in Vancouver, I posted it late evening and went to bed but when I awoke in the morning there were 4 pages of folk thanking me in the most profuse way, it brought a tear to this ancients eye.

Lots of folk only had dial up connections and they had never been able to see any video before.
