Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Desktop Audio Recorder

Articolo di Gemini

You can record audio on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Desktop using several tools, depending on whether you want a simple voice recorder, a pro-level audio editor, or a way to capture internal system sounds. [1, 2]

su / sudo

apt update

apt upgrade

Option 1: GNOME Sound Recorder (Best for quick voice notes) [1]

This is the official, minimalist audio recording tool tailored for the GNOME desktop environment. [1, 2, 3]

  • Install via Terminal:
    bash
    sudo apt update && sudo apt install gnome-sound-recorder Use code with caution.
  • How to use: Open Sound Recorder from your application menu, click the Record button to start, and choose your format (MP3, FLAC, or Ogg). [1, 2]

Option 2: Audacity (Best for advanced editing and high-quality recording)

If you need to edit your audio, eliminate background noise, or manage multiple tracks, Audacity is the open-source standard. [1]

  • Install via Terminal:
    bash
    sudo apt update && sudo apt install audacity Use code with caution.
  • How to use: Launch Audacity, select your preferred microphone or input channel (Mono/Stereo) from the audio setup toolbar, and click the red Record circle. [1, 2]

Option 3: “Audio Recorder” Application (Best for capturing system/streaming sound)

If you specifically want to record output audio (like music playing in a browser, game audio, or a team call), the third-party Audio Recorder tool is highly effective. [1, 2]

  • Install via Terminal:
    bash
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:audio-recorder/ppa
    sudo apt update && sudo apt install audio-recorder
    Use code with caution.
  • How to use: Launch the app and use the Audio Source dropdown menu to switch between your microphone or your system’s card output (to record streaming audio). [1, 2]

A Note on System Sound Routing

Ubuntu 26.04 uses PipeWire by default to manage audio streams. If you ever need to route specific desktop app outputs directly into your recording software, you can install a visual patchbay tool like Helvum or QPWGraph to click and drag audio lines virtually. [1, 2]

bash

sudo apt install qpwgraph

Use code with caution.
