*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 282316 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282316 I've found that it's still unreliable even in the newest Ubuntu (9.10). It's best to install and use the "pavucontrol" program for it, it seems to work good.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 282316 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282316 i can confirm this on 8.10 32bit version, and kmix does not help me. I even tried the same microphone on another computer to confirm it was not something wrong with the microphone. The microphone works perfectly on another computer. I think i have tried every possible combination of settings in volume- control and kmix but no matter what i try the microphone is always muted after i close/open volume-controller. And recording produces at best some random "white noise" no matter what i try. Soon i will completely wipe out pulseaudio or maybe ubuntu entirely and use a more stable sound system. -- Microphones are always muted (Ubuntu 8.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290121 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 290121] Re: Microphones are always muted (Ubuntu 8.10)
Made more testings... I finally found out why Flash is not able to record at all. The alsa plugin for GStreamer is broken (alsasrc). When launching: gst-launch alsasrc ! audioconvert ! wavenc ! filesink location=test.wav You will get several warnings and errors. The file size is also really big (5 seconds = 20 megs) Compared to: gst-launch pulsesrc ! audioconvert ! wavenc ! filesink location=test.wav Which gives expected results. ** Also affects: gstreamer Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Microphones are always muted (Ubuntu 8.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290121 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 290121] Re: Microphones are always muted (Ubuntu 8.10)
Ok, tested on the Averatec laptop and it is working as the Dell laptop. So the main problem is the Alsa plugin recording thru Puselaudio that is not working at all, making Flash unusable to broadcast over the internet. This was wokring A-1 in Ubunt 8.04. -- Microphones are always muted (Ubuntu 8.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290121 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 290121] Re: Microphones are always muted (Ubuntu 8.10)
I did some more investigation. On the Dell 1521 AMD64 (snd-hda-intel) Finally, I was able to record with the microphone with Flash doing: 1 - Kill pulseaudio 2 - Set System - Prererences - Sound : Detection and Capture with my (hardware) Sound card HDA (Alsa) 3 - No .asoundrc 3 - No /etc/asound.conf Muted buttons are still behaving strangely, but I was able to play/record with Flash... Then I restarded "pulseaudio -D". When Flashplayer is loaded, I can see that the Alsa plugin is used in Pulseaudio Volume Control for playing and recording. But no sound is capture (sound output works). The ALSA Plugin for pulseaudio does not seems to be able to record. Also, switching the stream from one source to another sometimes (often) kills the Flash player. Note: My internal microphone started working again when everything was set to ALSA only. But with Pulseaudio, it does not work (Volume seems to be really low...) I'll test on the Averatec (32bits) to validate the settings and validate if it will work. -- Microphones are always muted (Ubuntu 8.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290121 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 290121] Re: Microphones are always muted (Ubuntu 8.10)
** Description changed: In Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex... Open Volume Control, the microphones (all inputs) are always muted. - Open Volume control - Select Recording tab - All inputs are muted - Unmute microphone/input - Close Volume control - Re-open, and microphone/inputs are still muted It seems to record anyway with some software like Sound Recorder but using Flash, there is no sound capture at all. This is happening on a Dell 1521 AMD64 (HDA-Intel card) and a Averatec 3200 32bits (VIA card). Note: The Averactec was upgraded to 8.10 several days ago... I managed to record audio in Flash 10 by removing Pulseaudio. The I upgraded my Dell laptop 2 days ago and no succes on this one. So to compare, I went back to my Averatec, validated the sound capture was working in Flash, reinstalled Pulseaudio and "updated at the same time". Now I have no sound capture in Flash on the Averatec and the microphone cannot be unmuted like the Dell. I did remove Pulseaudio on both computer, rebooted, configure my default sound to pulseaudio/alsa, played with .asoundrc and .asound.conf... nothing worked. It seems that Flash is considering the muted flag and it is not impossible to broadcast thru Flash Player (blogTV, UStream). Since it was working on my Averatec before the major update, and it does not work after the update, whatever I do, it looks like something is broken in the alsa layer. I've looked in my logs, nothing is showing up beside this with Pulseaudio on my Dell... Oct 27 20:47:36 mult-pballeux pulseaudio[8297]: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.
