Every time I boot up I have to switch my audio output device to my "Line Out" headphones because for some reason my microphone defaults as a speaker.
See this screenshot
.
Is there a program for Ubuntu that can record sounds of only the output of the speaker and not any voices from outside the PC?
I have a USB microphone that I can chat on Skype, record sound etc. But how can I make it so that when my mic is on and I speak, Ι hear it in speakers live without having to record my voice first and then play it back? What apps do I need or where can I enable this option?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10
I have one sound card and one pair of Bluetooth headphones. I want to play my audio through both my sound card and my Bluetooth headphones.
I believe Windows has checkboxes that allow you to "check" outputs to enable/disable them, but Ubuntu seemingly has the equivalent of radio selectors (you can only select one at a time).
Bonus question: On a similar note, I have 5 analog output channels on my sound card (in addition to my digital & HDMI audio) -- I would like to be able to determine what comes out of each of those ports (e.g. "front speakers" on all 5 or "front", "center", "back", etc).
Ubuntu's desktop gui is great for changing audio settings (System->Preferences->Sound), like the default input/output device and setting the volume.
However, I would like to be able to do these things from the command-line. What tool is the gui using behind the scenes?
