audio-recorder cannot record sound

Hello everybody,

A few days ago I wanted to record something and it did not work.
I do not use audio-recorder daily but last time was few months ago. It worked then.

Here is the output from today's attempt

audio-recorder

The file it produces has no sound at all.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Re: audio-recorder cannot record sound

It's trying to use  pipewire , do you want it to use  pipewire ? Or should it rather use pulse? If not, disabling pipewire should help

systemctl --user mask pipewire pipewire.socket --now

Re: audio-recorder cannot record sound

How this 'pipewire' thing happened?

Is that the expected output

systemctl  --user mask pipewire pipewire.socket --now
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

EDIT

Removed pipewire
Reinstalled audio-recorder

Still no sound in the recording.

audio-recorder

Re: audio-recorder cannot record sound

Did you select the correct device?

In any case your user bus is broken (assuming you did run that command as your user and not as root or so), that's a different but also necessary to fix issue. How do you log in and start xorg?

Re: audio-recorder cannot record sound

I ran it as root.

That should explain the output.

As for 'xorg' I start it manually

startxfce4
