\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For those who want to install the simple Audio Recorder application in Ubuntu 23.10 and Ubuntu 24.04, here’s new Ubuntu PPA.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: The PPA support until Ubuntu 24.04. No longer updates for 24.10 and higher due to lack of upstream source development!!<\/b><\/p>\n

Audio Recorder<\/a> is a free open-source GTK3 audio recording application for Linux. It has a stupid simple user interface, while can record any sound from your computer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Audio Recorder simple UI<\/p><\/div>\n

This app can record sound from your speaker, microphone, music player applications, and mixed source, such as recording speaker and microphone at the same time.<\/p>\n

Sound can be recorded into OGG, FLAV, MP3, WAV, OPUS, M4A audio formats. And, it has a timer to start\/stop recording automatically on given time and\/or voice, silence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This audio recorder is one of my most favorite Linux applications. But don’t know why, it’s excluded in Debian\/Ubuntu repositories. And, the official Ubuntu PPA<\/a> support so far until Ubuntu 22.04.<\/p>\n

Some users reported it does NOT install in Ubuntu 23.04, so I made a new PPA<\/a> contains this software packages, with support for Ubuntu 22.04<\/b>, Ubuntu 24.04<\/b>, and Ubuntu 23.10<\/b> on amd64<\/code> (X86_64), arm64\/armhf<\/code> (for Apple M1\/M2, Raspberry Pi, etc) CPU architecture types.<\/p>\n

And thankfully,\u00a0 the new PPA package seems working good (with only minor testing<\/i><\/strong>). Since you may know, Ubuntu 23.04 switched to Pipewire sound server while 22.04 and earlier are using classic PulseAudio.<\/p>\n

1. Add the new PPA<\/h3>\n

To add the PPA, simply press Ctrl+Alt+T<\/b> on keyboard to open terminal. Then run command:<\/p>\n

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1\/audio-recorder<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
2. Update system package index<\/h3>\n
Since Ubuntu 20.04, it automatically updates system package index while adding PPA. Though, some Ubuntu based systems may NOT.<\/p>\n
Just in case, you may run command manually to refresh your system package index:<\/p>\n
sudo apt update<\/pre>\n
3. Install Audio Recorder<\/h3>\n
Finally, install the audio recorder package by running command in terminal:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install audio-recorder<\/pre>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
The Audio Recorder app updates rarely, so you can remove the PPA after installation (see the bottom screenshot).<\/p>\n
Uninstall:<\/h3>\n
To remove the audio recorder, simply run command:<\/p>\n
sudo apt remove --autoremove audio-recorder<\/pre>\n
And remove the PPA, either by running command in terminal:<\/p>\n
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:ubuntuhandbook1\/audio-recorder<\/pre>\n
Or, use “Software & Updates” utility by removing the source line under ‘Other Software’ tab.<\/p>\n
