Public bug reported: This bug is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa- driver/+bug/1245020 with fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04. The previous workaround does not work. The input tab of Sound Settings has two inputs (1) Analog Input - built-in audio and (2) Internal microphone -built-in audio. Neither of them work.
using alsamixer to toggle the input source back and forth from Internal Microphone to something else (mic or mic 1) and back to Internal microphone temporarily works. However this fix is not permanent. The internal microphone stops working after a while or after a restart.
