I would like to record some text-to-speech. Right now I pipe the audio to play so that it can be played. The command that I use to play the tts is play -q -

I have tried using audio-record and arecord -f cd -t raw | lame -x -r - out.mp3 which I found online but I only hear static. With the rec command, I can't hear anything.

I don't know what else to do or what to check since I'm not very experience with Ubuntu.

If you want to record audio, you can use this ppa although ppas are untrusted:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:osmoma/audio-recorder
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install audio-recorder

This won't work on 15.10+. If you are using 15.10+ let me know and I'll post instructions on how to install on newer versions.

Here are the instructions for later versions (Ubuntu 15.X, 16.X, & 17.X):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:audio-recorder/ppa
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall audio-recorder

Click here for more info and for instructions on removing the old ppa if needed.
