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. -- Microphone not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80531 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
