No mic in Ubuntu 8.04 RC
 

Hey all.

I have just install 8.04 RC for a friend, that has a Zepto 3215w Laptop with RealTek ALC268 sound chip.
The sound is fine, but i can't get the built in mic to work?!:scratch:

Any suggestions?

Best regards

AFAIK: it doesn't work - period.
I have the same issue. I bet it is an intel chipset and the realtek is a sub-controller.

Thanx
 

Thank you very much, now i know that it isn't me :)

Have a try - just to be sure:

to the right of the top panel there is a volume control applet - it looks like a speaker.
right-click on it, and select "Open Volume Control"

from the window that opens,
select "change device" from the file menu. Make sure the "alsa" device is selected.
select "preferences" from the edit menu, and add useful looking controls.

In the playback tab, make sure the microphone is not muted. (There may be several.)
In switches tab, enable the mic boost.

In system > preferences > sound - audio conferencing, the capture device must match the mic device. You can play with this - usually only one will work at all with the test.

In system > preferences > multimedia systems selector - fiddle with the input sound stuff.
(You may need to odd this entry to the main menu)

Hope you have better luck than I did.
