Do you have both a 'playback' and a 'recording' tab in the volume control? The microphone should be muted under 'playback'. You should have a source you can record from under the 'recording' tab. I have 'Capture' and 'Digital', and Capture is the control that controls microphone recording. I don't know what the mute buttons in this tab are supposed to do, but the 'toggle audio recording' buttons (microphone icon) in the recording tab are what enable or disable recording sources.
If you are missing controls, go to Edit -> Preferences and check all the boxes. -- Intel 82801G (ICH7) has constant noise with microphone unmuted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133177 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
