Webcam recording no sound

I need to record webcam video from my webcam using guvcview and cheese, and the finished output.mp4 video always has no sound.

I'm using fresh install arch xfce installed webcam featuring microphone packages, unmute microphone and video but still no sound.

sudo pacman -S guvsview
sudo pacman -S alsa-utils pulseaudio-alsa pavucontrol pulseaudio

Re: Webcam recording no sound

I tested Installing KDE Neon and everything works fine there, audio recording works on KDE but my Arch Linux don't.
Using command: arecord filename.wav playing the .wav or ogg no sound on Arch, microphone won't recording audio, i don't know which package are missing.

Re: Webcam recording no sound

You are likely recording from the wrong device. Post during an attempted recording in [ code ] [ /code ] tags:

arecord -lL
pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sources
pacmd list-source-outputs
