I had the same problem with Karmic UNR on an EEE 901 pc. Neither the internal microphone nor the plug on the side were working.
Walkaround was installing the linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic and rebooting. Then installing the pavumeter application. I had to open pavumeter, go to the input tab and then the microphone started working in all applications (including Skype). I'm assuming pavumeter resets or does something to pulseaudio that makes the mic work. I previously tried changing capture volume levels in alsamixer, but it made no difference. Just installing the pavumeter without the backport package might work too, I didn't try that. -- Internal microphone doesn't work on Asus eeePC 1005HA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449855 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
