I have an Acer TravelMate 5730. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 but cannot record sound from either an external microphone or the internal microphone, all I hear is static. I have tried recording in the 'Sound Recorder' and also in 'Cheese'. As a Linux newbie I would like to be informed of a simple resolution to this issue. I really do not want to regress to Windows 7!
