The System76 Galago UltraPro (galu1) has inverted stereo mics. We didn't
catch this in our testing as (interestingly) there is no cancellation
effect when the mic is set at the default gain level of "Unamplified",
and apparently no one happened to turn the gain up during testing =)
Another interesting thing is that there is likewise no cancellation
effect up to maybe 15% gain (by slider position in UI). Up to this max
working gain level, the audio sounds perfect. But if I increase the gain
just one tick more (right arrow while gain slider is focused), there is
then complete cancellation... all you get are weird popping sounds now
and then.
However, if I put the gain at 100% and then turn off either the right or
left channel in alsamixer, the audio sounds fine, which suggests typical
phase inversion. But the fact that it works at lower volume levels
doesn't really make sense, so I expect there is some other quirkiness
that might need to be addressed also.
I'll do more digging.
