Microphone don't work on Macbook 5,2.
Hi,
I'm using Slackware 14.0 x86_64(not current) on a Macbook 5,2 from 2009. (http://www.everymac.com/systems/appl...dia-specs.html ) Although the audio works well, the microphone do not work, at least when I try to use skype. Code:
$ arecord -l Code:
# lspci Also, Phonoton (KDE) lists HDA nvidia ALC889A Analog and HDA nvidia ALC889A Analog (Default Audio Device) as the microphone tool. However, Default audio device is unavailable. So what should I do? |
HI according to your image the last control says mic
can you use the right arrow to get to it and then press up arrow a number of times or down arrow a number of times and tell us what other options you get you may get a front mic so if mic was in front hole your main issue may resolve 2) when you do a mic to work be aware of the following mic boost 100% highly to lead to distortion ---suggest you zero 3) multiple captures----3 of them suggests you may have 3 inputs but my eyesight can not spot em my guess is from looking at your link ports and connectivity TAB inbuilt mic somewhere probably near screen = input 1 optical =spdif = input 2 sound out = can be converted to in = input 3 (actually on my normal non-mac tower its my line in that can be converted to caputure device) Can you confirm pls? 4) you also have a digital mic setting but its de-active arrow to it....press the space bar to activate, numbers should show up as read then page up to raise volume to about 80 b) I would lower all analog mic controls to 80 but if skype starts working you can zero them good luck Quote:

I thought that I already replied but anyway.
I can't activate the 3 mic options and when I use the up and down arrows, only ''mic'' changes to ''cd'' and ''Line''. Quote:
I can't activate the digital but I can change its value with the arrows up and down... |

It now appears, altho you will need to confirm that your mixer shows all caputures all at once when only ONE can be set at a time. 2) Back to digital. Do you have a S/PDIF hole? 3) try a non-skype sound test with various volumes set by you Code:
arecord -d 5 -f cd test.wav now test with all volumes at 100% but 0% boost report if you hear anything assuming you can keep all analogs activated but 0% all of them keep 100% digital and retest report if anything heard ----if nothing heard this digital may well be your S/pdif b) I have good results with a volume set at 80% for digital 0% for analog analog is activated good luck |
