** Description changed:
After doing an update on a bunch of pulseaudio packages my microphone
stopped working.
I played with Sound preferences, made sure "mute" was unchecked and I
also tried in alsamixer to increase the mic boost and I tried out both
"Internal" and "Mic" options.
These are all the packages that were updated before it stopped working

Here is a screenshot of alsamixer:

You can see that the mic volume level seems to indicate sound coming in,
but when I play the sound is just noise. It's almost as if it was trying
to use the mic plug on the side of the laptop but not the builtin one.
Sound output works fine.
As per this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7739984&postcount=17
I created:
~/.asoundrc
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
...after that, my Alsa mixer changed and it only shows this:

+ So I ended up reverting it and remove those changes from ~/.asoundrc
I'm running an up to date version of Karmic on a Thinkpad X300.
