Like here, http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=134999, the microphone does not work, and no one can hear me.

Code:

lsusblsusb
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045e:0084 Microsoft Corp.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0556:0001 Asahi Kasei Microsystems Co., Ltd AK5370 I/F A/D Converter
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

with debian etch

Any Debian tricks ?
thanks if someone knows

Did you go through 'alsamixer' (type it in the terminal), unmute by pressing 'm' (so that '00' shows), and turn up the volume first?

I am only guessing you are using ALSA.

99 out of 100 cases:
You have to go into the sound mixer applet and enable the microphone. It is switched off by default in Etch.

I went to the AK USB microphone logitech that is USB with :

Code:

alsamixer -c 1

got it to 100percent for sure.
I tried it already.

Any other ideas, since it is working on my other machines but not this one?
Debian etch stable still
