Re: Microphone not picking any sound -- Debian Testing/Wheezy (KDE 4.6.5)



Hello Arun!
Sometimes in laptops, the microphone might be coupled with line-in. Have you had any mic luck under Linux with this laptop? You might have a look in alsamixer or alsamixergui for line-in settings as well and you might test it, by plugging in an external mic, or if it's switched, you might just plug any cable in - a headphone should do - and then unplug it. I have seen a soundcard, which would switch internal mic and line-in, depending on a plug being in the line-in jack. Sometimes, these things don't really work under Linux.I don't know about your particular card though. My second hand experience was mainly with macbooks.
  I hope that helps.
  Warm regards
         Julien
