Linux Mint - how to record internet sound on Audacity
« on: Sat, 18 January 2025, 17:53:07 »
I asked this a couple of years ago the last time I did a major system update, but I can't find it again.

After quite a bit of searching, I get suggestions but they simply don't work. For example, why is "What U Hear" simply not there in any of the recording menus or drop-down?

As I remember, ALSA is an acceptable host (the only one I find) but for Playback and/or Recording Device there are precious few choices and although "pulse" is supposed to be adequate, it isn't.

As always, I appreciate your help.




"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.
