Analog microphone no longer detected

[Berend De Schouwer]

My built-in microphone works, but the analog input port doesn't. It's not detected. There is no "analog input" in the drop-down list under "input" in the settings.

There is a drop-down for headphones vs. speakers.

This used to work fine in 11.10.

Filed under pulseaudio, but it might be a driver issue.

OK, the microphone works.

Potentially internal and external are working, resulting in some wonky background noise.

[Berend De Schouwer (berend-de-schouwer)]

OK, please change this bug.

External microphone works perfectly, but is labelled "built-in microphone"
Built in microphone doesn't work at all.

I was confused. The external mic is labelled wrong.

The built-in microphone used to work pre-Precise, but it was useless (horrible background noise)
