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 Tom te tom te tomSound Preferences, Hardware tab: Internal Audio, 1 Output / 1 Input, Analog Stereo Duplex Profile: Analog Stereo Duplex Sound Preferences, Input tab: Choose a device for sound input: + Internal Audio Analog Stereo Input level: 0 (unless I plug in a mic to the front jack, then itworks)Mines got a slider for changing the gain - does that not work?Only with a mic plugged into the 3.5mm jack. With no mic plugged in, it doesn't matter what the slider's set to, nothing is detected. Grant.
Have you tried a different profile (I think thats under the hardware tab)I wish there was a decent web site on this - 'just works' is fine when it does...
