Ok, I see pavucontrol changing the volume, and I see the control center
connecting, but I don't see anything about it not being able to change
the microphone volume, same with Chromium. Are you able to change the
microphone volume with the sound indicator?
One thing you could try, is to move your pulseaudio configuration out of
the way temporarily to see if that resolves things. The best time to do
this is when not logged into a graphical session, and do the move in a
console. You want to move ~/.config/pulse out of the way. Once done, try
the control center, and chromium again. No need to test pavucontrol, we
know that its working.

Title:
Lenovo X1 Carbon 2nd gen: Microphone not working in GTK (GStremer?)
apps
Status in gstreamer package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (2nd gen, 2014?) running Ubuntu
Yakkety (16.10). Kernel is the most current one: 4.8.0-39-generic
#42-Ubuntu
In the last days the microphone stopped working when I am on the
Google Hangouts video conference in the Chromium browser. I checked
the sound settings of the System Settings and on the "input" tab the
slider for the microphone volume is grayed out and cannot be moved
away from the zero position. The microphone level monitor bar does not
move when talking or touching the microphone.
Then I found the following on the internet
http://askubuntu.com/questions/508221/sound-input-device-microphone-
not-working
and tried to solve the problem following the hints:
- Reboot does not solve the problem.
- I could not do any tests with gstreamer-properties as it seems to
have been removed from gstreamer (what is the successor?).
- pavucontrol (Pulse Audio Sound Control) shows on its "Input Devices"
Tab that the microphone of the laptop is OK and that the kernel works
with it. The Level monitor bar is moving according to environment
noise and touching of the microphone.
- "sudo alsa force-reload" does not solve the problem.
- "sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio; sudo apt-get
install alsa-base pulseaudio ubuntu-desktop" and reboot afterwards
does not solve the problem.
- audacity is recording through the microphone correctly.
- Adding "options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1" to /etc/modprobe.d
/alsa-base.conf and rebooting does not solve the problem.
I hope that is a known problem. Please tell me if you need further
information.
