Hello,
Have you checked in your volume settings that it's not just 'muted'? Kind regards, Eric |
Also make sure you have selected a profile on the hardware tab of sound preferences with either
duplex or output + input. |
Thanks one and all all working as it should
once again many thanks |
Hello,
Glad you got it solved. May I ask what was the problem and solution in your case so that others with similar issues can give it a try? If you consider your problem solved then please mark the thread as such using the Thread Tools. Kind regards, Eric |
Not sure what I did but I remember clicking on sound then hardware make sure the sound card is present in my case internal audio click on analog stereo duplex for input I think it was microphone 1 eventually got it working not sure if this works for all but definitely a glitch with ubuntu

How to make microphone work!
The only solution to make microphone work is to install linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic...
Just go to: Menu / System / Administration / Synaptic Package Manager And search and mark for installation: linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic tip: if you have multiple versions click on the first and read the description which should inform what name to install... If after the reboot and mic mute is off, still does not work, just go to terminal and type: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add or change the following: options snd-hda-intel model=auto enable=yes Then Ctrl+X, type Y to write and exit, reboot and mic will work. Bye and have lots of fun with Ubuntu (the best). |
