I have similar problems to you. With the programs I use I need to make
adjustments to the sound using kmix, upon doing making an adjustment it
ruins the sound for what ever else I'm doing.
Play around with the switches and mutes until desired effect happens. You
may need to restart the app your working with.

goodluck

If at first you don't succeed try, try again.

Switch that keyboard noise off in Gnome?

As I said, it's more a Kubuntu with KDE running. Where would such a
"switch off" be possible in gnome?

In KMix I tried to switch different things on the input panel (Mic Boost,
Capture (twice) and Digital), so far without success :/

I wonder which input "device" is being used for the keystrokes to be
audio-rec'd. Only success was switching both of those "capture" sliders
off, but that also disables recording from the mic. As soon as I switch
it back on, keyboard noise is being recorded..

Greetings,

Marcel

Erm, what kind of sounds are you talking about? Not error and
notification sounds from KDE? Does every key make a sound??

Hi.

Exactly. Disabling regular sounds is easy. Every key makes not quite a
sound, but some clearly noticeable noise when recording. So it't not some
assigned sounds, but the keystrokes themselves that are recorded (that
"nice" clapping of the keys) :/

Any ideas?

Bye,

Marcel

You do know *how* mics work? Do you? *REALLY* ? :-)

Of course there is one way I can suggest: Use audacity to
*remove* the *noise*, if you record something that you want
to keep. other than that I can't think of a solution for
this problem, hey wait, get a *silent* keyboard or type less... :-)
