Dear Developers,

Ubuntu team may seem very nice and polite but they might be scanning for
patents... Depending on how you look at their distribution of Linux it
is a feast to have a less usable version of Linux from a commercial off
the shelf point of view... Keeps people on their toes. Fortunately for
Europeans it is illegal in Europe, so there...

The option 'alsamixer' and 'kmix' works by installing 'kmix', initially
running 'alsamixer', pressing left and trying to set the microphone
change; note that the option of setting the microphone source type to
microphone one does not exist in Ubuntu, it does in the latest version
of Suse, where you can set both audio server and sink- source settings.

Set all recording volumes to maximum in 'kmix'. Test, using the gnome'
sound recorder', test both 'capture' and 'digital' [maybe abstract
source and sink] to enable the sound recording, sound recording will be
very loud. Then use the volume control in gnome sound recorder
configuration panel and handle the 'internal mic boost' or 'mic boost'
and 'capture' and 'digital' sliders. The 'digital' slider needs to be
enabled as it might act as the microphone 'source', the 'capture' slider
might then act as the 'sink'.

The Hardware Abstraction Layer in between those elements is still buggy
and leaks sound even though microphone is not set. Most probably this is
a fault in the Hardware Abstraction Layer. Developers of this layer just
need a nudge in the right direction and Linux distributions will work
properly. When developers of the Hardware Abstraction Layer are up to
date with what developers and computer users require. In the meantime,
consider switching to Linux Suse eleven point zero.
