Bug Description
Every time I double click on the volume control in Gnome I find that microphone capture is muted. I can click unmute, but recording is not enabled. After clicking unmute, if I close the mixer and then open it again, I find capture has been muted again.
What I expected to happen when I clicked 'unmute' on microphone capture, was to be able to use microphone capture!
If a make a loud enough noise, I can get a faint recording of it - but that's the limit. This occurs with both my internal and external microphones.
However, this bug seems to only occur in Gnome, as when I installed KDE, microphone capture worked fine. I logged out of KDE and back into Gnome, and found the same problem.
I'm currently using Ubuntu 8.10, and did not have this problem with Gutsy Gibbon. Possibly the Gnome update broke this feature?
I'm using Intel82801CA-ICH3 (Alsa Mixer).

I've experienced this as well.
Using kmix, I was able to enable the capture device. I was unable to enable it using either gnome-volume- settings or alsamixer. The device stays enabled after kmix exits.
This should probably be filed under alsa or gnome-volume- settings, but I can't figure out how to do that w/ Launchpad ;)
