Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) Audio device - No mic
Hi people. I'm using a PC (Core 2 Duo) with an on board audio device. The sound works perfect, but the microphone doesn't work at all (it works fine on Windows, though). The PC has two microphone inputs: one at the front side and another one at the rear side; I opened the gnome volume control and selected "Mic" as input source (there's also a "Front Mic" option, but since I want to use the one at the rear side, I selected "Mic"). Then I adjusted the mic volume, but there's no sound when I try to use the mic with skype. I also used alsamixer to adjust the volume levels, but in spite I selected the "mic" option as input source, I can't adjust the volume level up when I try to do it with the keyboard up arrow (it just won't get higher).
Here's some info that might be useful: Code:
lspci | grep -i audio Code:
aplay -l cat /proc/asound/cards gives me this: Code:
cat /proc/asound/cards Code:
lsmod | grep snd Thanks in advance. |
Well this answer is a bit outdated but I came across the same problem and because it took me some time to find the solution I thought I'll post here in case anyone else comes across the same problem.
So the problem seems to be that alsamixer doesn't take control over the microphone. The problem got solved after: 1. installing gnome-alsamixer 2. running gnome-alsamixer as user After you run gnome-alsamixer you'll see that it has three Rec. option under Capture. All three are not checked by default. 3. I checked the first one and the microphone started working. I am not sure what other solution there might be for people running some other WM and not wanting to install any gnome... apps. |
