      Hello Friends,

      I’m recorded a game using SimpleScreenRecorder. After I had saved it (as mkv file ?) , I played it with vlc player, but I couldn’t hear anything but my fingers tapping on the keyboard. I’m using a laptop, if it matters.

      My system, if it also matters:

      Kernel: 4.9.200-antix.1-amd64-smp x86_64
      bits: 64
      Desktop: IceWM 1.6.3+git20191202
      Distro: antiX-19.1_x64-full Marielle Franco 23 December 2019

      Is there something in alsa I should set?

      Thank you for your time!

        No idea. Check the Options/configuration for the program. Set the audio device there.

        Someone else had similar issue:

          Thanks Xecure. I forgot to mention, I’m playing the game via dosbox.

            Hello.

            From this page: https://www.maartenbaert.be/simplescreenrecorder/recording-game-audio/

            To my knowledge, there is no reliable way to record the speakers in ALSA except by physically connecting the line out/headphone jack to the line in/microphone jack with a cable. It’s primitive but it works very well, you just have to adjust the recording level in ‘alsamixer’ to get the volume right. You should also disable ‘auto mute’ if your speakers become muted when you plug in the cable.

            Anyone familiar with the kind of cable the creator was talking about? What’s it called and where to buy?

            Also, does this mean I can’t use my headphone so I have to use my laptop speaker instead?

            Thank you
