OK looked into it a bit and I disabled the pulseaudio system in Intrepid doing the following: $sudo gedit /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio
# out everything as per Bug #280534 message from Erik Reuter # If we are loading a GNOME session, load pulseaudio. #if [ "$BASESTARTUP" = gnome-session -o \ # \( "$BASESTARTUP" = x-session-manager -a \ # "`readlink /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager`" = \ # /usr/bin/gnome-session \) ]; then # STARTUP="/usr/bin/pulse-session $STARTUP" #fi NEXT: System > Preference > Sessions disable all pulse related stuff NEXT remove all pulse home directory stuff: $cd ~ $rm pulse* NEXT set the sound card to Intel: $asoundconf set-default-card Intel NEXT: $alsamixer Max everything and enable the digital microphone. Yay! My microphone is now loud and clear. Remember to set things like Skype, etc back to the defaults. This method keeps all the pulse stuff on the computer so once its updated you can reverse the method and try pulse again. I read its also possible to remove pulse using apt-get or synaptics, but when I broke the sound completely. It should also work for hardy but I haven't tried. -- Dell XPS 1330 microphone not sensitive enough https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261018 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
