Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 and SimpleScreenRecorder downloaded from ubuntu app repository. Unfortunately when selecting audio input I dont have any other device than default (both for ALSA and PulseAudio). Refresh button doesn't change anything. When trying to record I get record messages:

[ALSAInput::Init] Error: Can't open PCM device!
[PageRecord::StartInput] Error: Something went wrong during initialization.

I remember then when using Ubuntu 18.04 I sometimes had issues that simplescreenrecorder sometimes was not able to find audio devices and then restart was necessary (any services restart didin't help). However in Ubuntu 22.04 it's a total disaster and despite trying to find different advices I was not able to make simplescreenrecorder to see any audio devices and to record.

Any other programs seems to work flawlessly with audio devices. When I run AlsaMixer I have two devices default:0 and default:1. For default:0 if I press F4 capture I get message "this sound device does not have any capture controls". For default:1 it works normally.

For pactl list short sinks I get

3	alsa_output.pci-0000_07_00.1.hdmi-stereo-extra1	module-alsa-card.c	s16le 2ch 44100Hz	SUSPENDED
4	alsa_output.pci-0000_07_00.6.iec958-stereo	module-alsa-card.c	s16le 2ch 44100Hz	SUSPENDED

Any suggestions how to force simplescreenrecorder to work ok with audio recording. Even recording from "jack" is not possible.

Thanks for hints. Is that any kind of bug?

At first glance it looks for me that there is sth wrong with devices detections in src/AV/Input/ALSAInput.cpp but not sure how to improve that?

@ken-wawa-wawa i have similar problem
logs:

[PulseAudioConnect] Error: Could not connect! Reason: Connection refused
It is possible that your system doesn't use PulseAudio. Try using the ALSA backend instead.
[PageRecord::StartInput] Error: Something went wrong during initialization.

with ALSA is the same problem.

Do you have any solution for recording audio with SimpleScreenRecorder on ubuntu 22.04?
