Title:
Apps cannot retrieve internal mic input
Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Could be pulseaudio, alsa-driver, or
~$ /usr/bin/gnome-control-center sound input
Dell Vostro 2520 dual-boot laptop
Intel Corporation 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family High Definition Audio
Controller (rev 04)

In Settings > Sound > Input, the On/Off [unmute/mute] setting *appearance* is
preserved over reboots and awakenings from sleep, but the mic input sound is
always muted despite the control still being set to On (unmute). Clicking mute
(Off), then unmute (On) restores mic input, as shown by the level meter
tracking input sounds.
However, Skype 8.59x and Zoom 5.0.3x cannot receive sound inputs
*despite* their sound level meters (in their respective sound
settings) registering changing input levels. The Skype test call does
not work. I opened a Zoom meeting with my wife on her Win 10 computer.
I could see and hear her, and she could see but not hear me.
On this dual-boot laptop, Skype 8.59x fails the test call under
Windows 10 Home.
The Sound Recorder app can successfully record mic input and play it
back. pavucontrol shows input on its level meter.
Notes:
+ ~$ /usr/bin/gnome-control-center sound input
(gnome-control-center:17284): sound-cc-panel-WARNING **: 16:48:28.795:
Couldn't find a stream
from the active input
+ Many days searching the internet and AskUbuntu have not produced a
solution that works. (For
what it is worth, many posters have reported that sound became
dysfunctional after upgrading
to 18.04 or 18.04.4.)
+ I have added the snd-cs46xx kernel module and firmware to get around
driver licensing issues
following the instructions at https://wiki.debian.org/snd-cs46xx, Debian
8.
+ I have added these lines to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf :
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-vostro-2520
options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0
+ In PulseAudio Volume Control I have set the following:
