Public bug reported:

I have LXDE and plain alsa installed.

The outgoing volume is acceptable, but the incoming volume is very low.
I have to turn it up all the way to get any kind of recognition in the
speech recognition programs I use: dragon naturally speaking, and
Google’s speech recognition, which I am using to type this.

I have checked the volume  with Audacity. When I turn the microphone up
to 100%, that gives me what looks like a normal reading. But that
shouldn't be normal, that should be loud.

This problem is independent of any microphone or USB sound card. (I've
tried a bunch of both.)

I usually use a Logitech USB external sound card.
