Bug Description
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04.
The built in mic on my HP laptop doesn't work (it used to work fine under -karmic) while an external microphone plugged in the 1/8" mic input works just fine.
I have no manual option to select internal or external mic under gnome-volume-
I've found out that in Ubuntu 10.04 there is no possibility to manually select either the internal or the external mic but autoswitching is done based on jack presence (i.e. when an external mic jack is plugged in, the internal microphone is muted and only the external one works; and when no external mic is plugged in, the internal microphone should work).
Anyway, in my case an external microphone connected to the 1/8" jack input works but when I disconnect it, the internal mic doesn't work at all.
Please see the attached file (hope it helps).
Also please let me know what other information is relevant for you (and how to retrieve it).
- Release: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- pulseaudio: 1:0.9.22~
- alsa-base: 1.0.22.
Thanks in advance
