I have a Lenovo x300 running 9.04 and I'm struggling with the internal microphone, too. I've found a couple of things:
1) The Gnome Alsa Mixer does what the original poster said, and therefore doesn't allow me to select the internal microphone. However, if I click on the volume icon in the top panel and click on the volume control button, I get something that is more useful. Select Devide "HDA Intel (Alsa mixer)", then select the "Switches" tab. Unselect "Mix" and select "Microphone Capture" and "Internal Mic". That seems to make the internal mike work. 2) Sometimes the internal microphone doesn't work, even though the settings look right. I have to re-select "Internal Mic", even if the check box beside "Internal Mic" is checked. I click on it to turn it off, then click on it again to turn it on. Weird and undesirable behaviour, for sure, since I have to select the microphone manually, but at least I feel I have some control over the situation. -- Pulseaudio refuses to use internal microphone input (Lenovo X300) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434520 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
