Thanks. I didn't realise alsamixer gave me more control than the Gnome 'Sound Preferences' over this.
Adjusting 'Analog Mic Boost' to +40db fixes this and the setting is saved. Every user of the Lenovo G560 will need to do this (by googling and eventually finding this page) if they want to use the internal microphone (it picks up nothing without a boost) - does this not warrant a patch? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701271 Title: [Conexant CX20585] Recording problem with internal mic -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
