How to enable the microphone to work

Post by Polo »

The speaker is OK.
But the microphone does not to work, when I try to record something by sound recorder.
Also same applications, such as Skype, I can hear from my friend, but my friend can hear from me.
I checked that the Microphone is not in mute, and also its output level is not zero.
I also removed the pulseaudio and used the alsaaudio, but the result is the same.
If anyone knows somethings, please give me advise.

Seems MIC is still muted somewhere.
Right click on Sound Preferences -> Open Volume Control -> Recording -> Capture must be unmuted too. In any case I attached config file with all settings, put it instead your /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, reboot and try to record.

Code: Select all

state.MID {
	control.1 {
		comment.access 'read write'
		comment.type INTEGER
		comment.count 2
		comment.range '0 - 64'
		iface MIXER
		name 'Front Playback Volume'
		value.0 64
		value.1 64
	}
	control.2 {
		comment.access 'read write'
		comment.type BOOLEAN
		comment.count 2
		iface MIXER
		name 'Front Playback Switch'
		value.0 true
		value.1 true
	}
	control.3 {
		comment.access 'read write'
		comment.type INTEGER
		comment.count 2
		comment.range '0 - 65'
		iface MIXER
		name 'Mic Playback Volume'
		value.0 44
		value.1 44
	}
	control.4 {
		comment.access 'read write'
		comment.type BOOLEAN
		comment.count 2

	}
	control.5 {

		value.1 0
	}
	control.6 {

Mr Denis, thanks for your rapid reply.

I changed the config file asound.state according to that you give to me. It works!

Thank you again.
