Public bug reported: My built-in internal mic on my Toshiba Satellite-A215 will not pick up sounds. The external speakers work just fine, but once again the mic can't record any sounds. I have an Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS.
Below is a link of my ALSA "info" that may be useful: http://www.alsa- project.org/db/?f=10a2337ec9b863d7414121dff10f30ad0cdf430d I've tried the ALSA DKMS update recommended to me by an ubuntuforums.org user from this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS However after following the instructions from the above link, the mic still has not worked. The same Ubuntu forum user suggested I file a bug. He/she provided me with a link from "an old report from an A215 with the same ALC268 codec": https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...r/+bug/1081353 I provided this because it may be helpful in the debug process. The version of ALSA I have is shown below: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k3.19.0-61-generic. Any help would be appreciated, please let me know if you need any additional info.
