I'm running a Dell xps m1330 and managed to fix this. The problem for me was pulseaudio. What I did was that I removed pulseaudio and installed esound instead.
I used this guide here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=973637 After this I set everything in System -> Preferences -> Sound Preferences to "ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" and in Default Mixer Tracks I set it to HDA Intel and chose Master - Capture - Digital and Mux. I have no idea if this is relevant, but it works for me with these settings. Then I went to sound settings in the top right corner and just turned everything up, unmuted everything and in HDA Intel -> Options I set Digital Input Source to Digital 1 and the rest to Front Mic. I've tried this with sound recorder and Skype. In Skype options -> sound devices I set everything to Default Device but unchecked the Allow Skype to... thing. Hope this works for more users, Arnar -- internal mic capture very low volume when routed through pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275998 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
