Fix the audio settings trap
considering
Adam Krawitz
The current way the audio settings work seems as if it was designed to deliberately cause problems:
- A user can't have default settings, so the audio source must be set before EVERY SINGLE recording.
- The audio source (unlike the video sources) is NOT LABELLED on the main recording screen, so it is easy to not notice it is set incorrectly.
- NO WARNING is given when a recording is started and there is no audio input being recorded.
As a result, it is all to easy to discover after class that the recording of the class session has no audio.
Please fix this.
Addressing even one of the 3 points above would help:
- Allow users to have default settings, so they only have to pick the source once at the beginning of the term.
- Add the name of the audio source to the main recording screen.
- Pop up a big message when a user starts a recording with no audio input.

Agree with the issue of No audio totally, there was a time when the system would not allow a recording to be started (start recording button greyed out) unless audio was detected but this is many years ago now probably at least 9 yrs.
