[FFmpeg-user] Screenrecording, audio is sped up when other process starts

To use an account part of the audio group and specifying an actual hardware device should be enough to do this. I am not sure what the difference between cards and devices are to alsa tbh, but I think using hw and index to specify the device makes it clear its not a mixer or other.

Also, does the card have 4 separate streams? If you have no particular reason to get all 4 channels maybe there is a way to only record one.

But maybe I was wrong in assuming that the contention in controlling the device was the problem; iirc, the way to not enable the sound mixer in pygame is to not enable it… So if there’s no sound I don’t think that is the issue.

I thought the glitch was the short high pitched noise in the video at 13 seconds in, is it observable anywhere else in that clip?
