Recordmydesktop Audio Not Working

Peace ppl!

community/gtk-recordmydesktop 0.3.8-2 [installed]
The video works fine. But there's some problem with the audio.

First of all, it gave a 768 error - with the "DEFAULT" device.
Changine to "default" as per the site below fixed that part.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/208139

Still, audio refuses to get recorded!

$recordmydesktop --on-the-fly-encoding -v_quality 63 -v_bitrate 2000000 -s_quality 10 --full-shots --fps 20 --freq 48000 --buffer-size 65538 -device default --channels 1
Initial recording window is set to:

Adjusted recording window is set to:

Your window manager appears to be KWin

..
Goodbye!

Though I'm getting "Broken Pipe" errors. That is more a problem of audio quality and smoothness. Audio is non existant here so there must be some other problem.

Useful site on broken pipes,

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Recordmydesktop Audio Not Working

Hmm.. I can't seem to record even from audacity. I even tried some windows app like camstudio on virtual box.
Maybe it's related to this:

I'm on hda intel conexant onboard.

Is it impossible to record stereo mix with this hardware? What about the routing through jack server thing?
