at the back of my computer connecting to the sound card are three sockets which look like: - microphone - speakers - line in (although could be line out) All was working fine until a few days ago when my microphone input stopped. Which is a bit of nuisance as I like using my headset on the telephone (using twinkle) Question: how can I determine what connection I should set up in alsa to make sure the microphone is turned on? As opposed to the microphone being broken? Any suggestions gratefully received (this may drive me to getting a USB headset sooner rather than later) My amixer settings are as follows Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 -
