wf-recorder --audio records mic input instead of default audio out

[mrsteve0924]

i dont see an option to disable input. do i just have to manually turn off mic?

EDIT: turning off mic ends up not recording any desktop audio at all.

Hi, if you only want to record monitor(output audio from PC), you should check what is the name of the "monitor" sink:

pactl list sources | grep Name

i.e. in my case: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo.3.monitor

then you launch wf-recorder with that audio source as parameter:
wf-recorder ---audio=alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo.3.monitor --file=testing-monitor-audio.mp4

i guess adding a script to detect the current default audio output source is needed to always get pc audio then? since i often swap between headphones and speaker
