Microphone errors - InputStream

[Jaykumaran]

An error occurred while starting a new recording:Error opening InputStream: Unanticipated host error [PaErrorCode -9999]: 'Input/output error' [ALSA error -5]. Please check your audio devices or check the application logs for more information

Facing same error on ubuntu 22.04, any fix?

Suggestions would be much appreciated

Cause of issue on Ubuntu is known, we are working to fix it. To fix this for you, please connect necessary snap interfaces:

sudo snap connect buzz:audio-record
sudo snap connect buzz:password-manager-service
sudo snap connect buzz:pulseaudio
sudo snap connect buzz:removable-media

This will grant Buzz access to the microphone for sound recording, password manager service so it can store OpenAI API key and also removable media, so you can select files for transcription from removable media.

Issue with Windows is not clear yet. Does the microphones work in other apps?

For Windows case, please, see if this is relevant https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/error-message-error-initializing-direct-sound-occurs-when-starting-directx-c892d63a-ac48-51c4-8c25-3653448703ed

IMO, googling for errors around DirectSound error' [Windows DirectSound error -2147467259] has the most potential to get to some solution, PaErrors seem relatively generic.
