Seems to be consistent, at least. I don't have my notes with me. The best I can remember, I added a line to the modprobe conf file, and it worked in Edgy, and now also in Feisty. I'll dig out my notes when I get back home and post the instructions.

Re: [Bug 80531] Re: Microphone not working
I have done each of the three proposed remedies. None work. Still no microphone (but the microphone did work until the recent) infamous update. Before doing suggestion "C" I got static when I tried to record. But after completing suggestion "C" I get nothing - only silence. Can anyone help me to get my microphone working again?

Re: [Bug 80531] Re: Microphone not working
Yup. But it's not just ubuntu - it's software dev. in general. They fix what they can, and let the rest go. What would be cool, would be for someone to create a video about how many problems ubuntu has, and how poor the support is, and put the video on youtube. But none of this negative complaining does any good. My best solution is linuxquestions.org. It's a much more positive community there. I am grateful to the ubuntu developers. I have received MUCH help from them, but they are swamped with tons of stuff. It's the big dogs who make the decisions about what to fix who are the problem. I hoped for more support from the ubuntu user's group. But instead, I have gotten much more help from linuxquestions.org. I recommend them. Again, let me say that I have received help from the unbuntu developers. And I agree with you - it's a hassle, and a bad deal for ubuntu - that the same bugs are present with release after release. Oh well... Email me directly, and I'll help with what I can. Peace, Rich --- ranser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You know what BUGS me?

Re: [Bug 80531] Re: Microphone not working
I am jealous. My alsamixer has 'mic' and 'line' only. It has never had mic1 or mic2. I'm using a Dell laptop i386. Do I have the wrong alsamixer version? My mic worked, and I used skype and soundrecorder, until a recent update. Nobody has said they found what was up with that update, but it hosed my system, and no mic since. I did the complete rebuild (C), because A and B did no effect. Now I have problems with the sound as well as the mic. The puzzle is that my mic worked until recently. What happened with that update? What will happen with Feisty Fawn?

Re: [Bug 80531] Re: Microphone not working
The sound and mic on my Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop were working perfectly until the infamous update. So, Ubuntu did recognize the hardware at one time. It's worrisome that updates are made without full consideration of all users. And it's unfortunate that users negatively effected by the updates are in the minority of this community. Thank you, GaryBrlow, for your hard work and consideration.

Re: [Bug 80531] Re: Microphone not working
Any news or hope about the microphone? Also, about every fifth or sixth time I turn on this computer, the trackpad doesn't work. Seems that the mic and trackpad still have some problem. --- Roel Huybrechts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ** Changed in: Ubuntu > Assignee: Roel Huybrechts => (unassigned) > > -- > Microphone not working > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80531 > You received this bug notification because you are a > direct subscriber > of the bug. > Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection.

The instructions in the email from garybrlow are beyond my ability and understanding. I tried Methods A and B, but still the same problem - no mic.

[Bug 80531] Re: Microphone not working
All was working until one of the updates. Has this happened to others also recently. My microphone does not work again. I don't know what changed in the software updates. I do not know how to get the mic to work again. Also, as a result of the recent update, GoogleEarth stopped working also, Is this being investigated? I'll appreciate the help.

Re: [Bug 80531] Re: Microphone not working
Right. Thank you. I'm running 6.10. Maybe something in one of the recent updates modified the mixer?

[Bug 53448] Re: [Dapper] Sound Recorder doesn't respect input selection on second record
Same in Edgy. Quite a few bugs for a system that is supposedly 'stable.' And there seems to be no end to the bugs. Sound Recorder worked perfectly fine for me the past month - used it several times. What did 'you' include in the software updates that changed things to create this bug? -- [Dapper] Sound Recorder doesn't respect input selection on second record https://launchpad.net/bugs/53448 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 80531] Re: Microphone not working
Thanks, back. I reported that I am using Dapper. It is an external microphone that plugs into the mic jack, which is next to the head phone jack on the left side of the laptop.

Re: [Bug 80531] Re: Microphone not working
Any hope for me fixing the touchpad-ps/2? I've never seen a mouse/touchpad behave so terribly. Six clicks are required frequently, and the cursor jumps around. --- Roel Huybrechts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, thanks for the report!
