I'm on the road with a different computer so can't test at the moment, but will the first chance I get.
I think my reasoning while flailing about to come up with the workaround was the hope that maybe pulseaudio might not be quite as "smart" or vigilant about (mis)managing the second card instance. In other words, the second instance might work like all instances did in Jaunty*, where alsamixer could be used to manually switch to the correct device right under pulseaudio's nose, and thus escape whatever bad or misinterpreted metadata pulseaudio is using to choose the wrong mic. It does seem to sort of work that way in practice, but I have no idea whether that's what is actually happening, or why. ---- * Note that the same bug was also present back in Jaunty -- the workaround had fewer steps, but pulseaudio still activated the wrong mic initially. -- Pulseaudio refuses to use internal microphone input (Lenovo X300) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434520 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
