Just so you know exactly what you're working with, first get a list of all microphone devices. # arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC662 rev3 Analog [ALC662 rev3 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 2: ALC662 rev3 Alt Analog [ALC662 rev3 Alt Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Q9000 [QuickCam Pro 9000], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 This page might help with amixer - https://alsa.opensrc.org/Record_from_mic Here's some possibly relevant and helpful things I found there: Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Capture 0 - 7 Mono: Playback 23 [74%] [on] Capture 5 [71%] [off] In this case you set Capture on with the command amixer sset Mic Capture cap.
