Comment 0 for bug 409819

After doing an update on a bunch of pulseaudio packages my microphone stopped working.

I played with Sound preferences, made sure "mute" was unchecked and I also tried in alsamixer increasing the mic boost and I tried out but internal and mic options.

These are all the packages that were updated before it stopped working (from Synaptic history):

indicator-applet (0.1.6-0ubuntu1) to 0.2.0~bzr319-0ubuntu4

My hardware is this:
$ cat /proc/asound/card*/codec\#*|grep -i codec
Codec: Analog Devices AD1984A

$ arecord -l

Here is a screenshot of the pavucontrol and sound preferences and sound recorder:

You can see that the mic volume level seems to indicate sound coming in, but when I play the sound is just static. Sound output works fine.

As per this post: I created:
~/.asoundrc
pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

...after that, my Alsa mixer changed and it only shows this:

I'm running an up to date version of Karmic.
