Missing driver? Also, I know that some of the newer laptops have these weird function keys that you need to use to unmute the microphone prior to using it. Perhaps something like that? Wait... now I am re-reading your post, and am wondering: is your microphone built-in to the laptop or on a separate headset? The previous two questions assumes the former. For latter, did you unmute the right channels in amixer/alsamixer? Just throwing up some random ideas. W -- Willie W.
