Hello
I am a total noob when it comes to sound in linux. I have Ubuntu and I
was trying to record what I was hearing. I did it but I have a question.
I installed PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol) and noticed the
"Configuration" tab, where it has an "Internal Audio" profile with
options like:
* Analog Stereo Duplex
* Analog Stereo Output
* Digital Stereo Duplex (iec 958) + Analog Stereo Intput
* Digital Stero Duplex (iec 958)
* Off
I tried to find more information about these options, but there is no
"help" for this GUI. SO I was wondering if anyone could give any hints
(links, documentation etc) on what these settings are.

Analog stereo Duplex means you get both a stereo input and a stereo output.
Analog Stereo Output means you get only a stereo output, no input.
Digital connections carry digital signals, so normally you wouldn't be
able to connect those directly to speakers or microphones.
Normally you would choose Analog Stereo Duplex.
pavucontrol is practically identical to "Sound Preferences" that you
find in the volume control on a regular Ubuntu Install. Just mentioning.
What is it you're recording? What software are you using?

Thanks for the answer :)

Hm, you are correct, hadn't noticed it before.
What is it you're recording? What software are you
using?
The source is flash-based streaming radios (that I can't record with vlc
http streaming). To record I simply use Audacity.
So I guess that for this setup the "Analog stereo Duplex" is the
preferable one?
Thanks again

If you want to explore audio routing more, I would suggest learning
about jack. There's a pulse-jack bridge, but I don't use it myself. I
suspect that would allow you to route anything from pulse to a recording
program using jack.
Just an idea..

I am on one computer (laptop), listen a flash-based web-radio.
- On audacity I have in preferences->devices->{playback|recording} =
pulse. Before that setup, it had "default" and the recorded tracked
seemed like it was recored from the laptop's mic.
- on sound preferences-> hardware->internal audio = analog stereo duplex.
I don't know if there is a way to get a configuration output from
command-line to show you my setup.

Default was most probably pulseaudio, so nothing should have changed there.

You can start by installing qjackctl, which is used to start jackd and
route between applications. You'll find that many apps have jack
support, but not flash-player.
On the pulse-jack bridge I can't help much, but I believe it's used
quite frequently in the KXStudio distro.
