Hello friends of Fedora,
this is the follow up for my previous email which proposes a new test
Desktop test case to cover basic sound recording, because we feel that we
also should test some basic recording, especially in times when many people
need to communicate via online tools.
So far, recording has not been required to be tested.
Please, let me know what you think about this new test.

Testcase Audio Recording Basic (test case proposal) Description
This test case tests whether sound can be recorded on Fedora.
Prerequisites
- If you do not have any sound recording application installed,
install *Gnome
Sound Recorder* (the gnome-sound-recorder package).
- Make sure the input sound device is correctly connected to your
computer, so that you can expect that sound will be recorded, i.e. you have
a microphone (or any sound producing device) connected to the input of your
sound adapter.
- Run *Settings* and navigate to the *Sound* tab. Check that your sound
device is correctly recognized by the system. In case you have more input
sound devices, make sure all of these devices are listed.
- Select a preferred device for input and set the input level using the
slider and the indicator below to avoid over-excitation of the signal and
sound distortion.
How to test
- Start a sound recording application.
- Record a sound clip of about 10 seconds using the microphone (or
another sound producing device).
- Play back the recorded sound.
Expected Results
- The recorded sound clip is *correctly* recorded and can be played
back. Note that the quality of the recording depends on many factors, such
as the quality of the sound adapter, the microphone, the wires used, etc.
Therefore the sound quality should not be considered a test failing
criterion unless the quality is much worse than expected.
