Re: [LUG] Pulseaudio Microphone issues

Hi all,

As with the vast majority of laptops, mine has a small microphone
somewhere around the keyboard but also has a 3.5mm TRS microphone jack.

Now, I can get audio input from the microphone jack but I can't seem to
get any sound in from the near-the-keyboard microphone.  I'm on Ubuntu
9.10 with the default PulseAudio setup.

Had I been using OSS or ALSA, I could probably have got this sorted,
but this new-fangled PulseAudio malarky has got me stumped.

Any good pointers?

Cheers.
Grant. :)

If you have the speaker icon (top right) right click it, then sound preferences and have a peek there.
ISTR that laptop mikes are switched off by default for security reasons
