Comment 149 for bug 275998

I just upgraded to jaunty and I tried that volume manager fix and it worked. It still sounds horrible and almost unusable. It has been a year already and nothing from pulseaudio side or alsa side have offered any fix so far. The pusleaudio developer just seems like he really doesn't care. Although he says the digitized data coming from the mic can be boosted through the ui of pulseaudio, doesn't mean it fixes anything. When just using alsa the digitized data seems to be just fine without any "digital" boost. At least for me. Pulseaudio just seems to lose something from grabbing that data from alsa. I at least hope I am wrong, as I do not know too much about these systems, but if anybody really knew that much more this problem would be fixed. Regarding how the pulseaudio developer keeps dropping this bug, I just don't see this getting fixed anytime soon. The only bet is to get rid of pulseaudio to get any decent use out of the internal mic.
