Hi,
I am unable to capture sound in sound recorder or GTK RecordMyDesktop.
Does anyone have a solution?
I use Linux Mint Elyssa.
Thanks.

Re: Linux Mint on Acer Extensa 5220 laptop no sound capture
You make the common (and easy to understand) mistake to believe that telling us which laptop you have tells something about hardware - it tells it's an Acer....
Unfortunately lots of laptops can have widely different components and have the same name
Run lspci and post the result
And which edition of Elyssa?
Finally - sound capture - what about sound in general?

There is a general solution for Intel HDA sound
Edit the "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" file
Edit// In Goria the file is called alsa-base.conf so it will be
add at the end
I don't guarantee that it will help, but there is a good chance
Model can be changed with each computer and sometimes you may need a "complicated" model
This is probably a solution for the hopeless cases - look in the post in the Ubuntu forums
