Public bug reported: I have an intel 82801JI audio chip on my motherboard, which can't record sound after upgrading to ubuntu 12.04. while on ubuntu 11.10, it could record sound.
I can see the audio input device via the audio settings menu, and also with alsamixer, but no input would come in. I've tested with two microphones, with plugged in both into the mic and line-in inputs. I've tested recording with the ubuntu audio recorder tool, and also with skype - none of them record any sound, and the input level is 0 on the audio mixer panel. playback works fine more info: $ lspci | grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller 03:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF100 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) $ amixer Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined penum Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 64 Mono: Playback 64 [100%] [0.00dB] [on] Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch penum Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 64 Mono: Front Left: Playback 62 [97%] [0.00dB] [on] Front Right: Playback 62 [97%] [0.00dB] [on] Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 Capabilities: pvolume penum Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 255 Mono: Front Left: Playback 255 [100%] [0.00dB] Front Right: Playback 255 [100%] [0.00dB] Simple mixer control 'Front',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch penum Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 64 Mono: Front Left: Playback 62 [97%] [0.00dB] [on] Front Right: Playback 62 [97%] [0.00dB] [on] Simple mixer control 'Front Mic',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch penum Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Mono: Front Left: Playback 23 [74%] [0.00dB] [off] Front Right: Playback 23 [74%] [0.00dB] [off] Simple mixer control 'Front Mic Boost',0 Capabilities: volume penum Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: 0 - 3 Front Left: 0 [0%] [0.00dB] Front Right: 0 [0%] [0.00dB] Simple mixer control 'Surround',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch penum Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 64 Mono: Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [-62.00dB] [off] Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [-62.00dB] [off] Simple mixer control 'Center',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined penum Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 64 Mono: Playback 0 [0%] [-62.00dB] [off] Simple mixer control 'LFE',0 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined penum Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 64 Mono: Playback 0 [0%] [-62.00dB] [off] Simple mixer control 'Line',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch penum Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Mono: Front Left: Playback 23 [74%] [0.00dB] [off] Front Right: Playback 23 [74%] [0.00dB] [off] Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum Playback channels: Mono Mono: Playback [on] Simple mixer control 'IEC958 Default PCM',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum Playback channels: Mono Mono: Playback [on] Simple mixer control 'Capture',0 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch penum Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 46 Front Left: Capture 45 [98%] [29.00dB] [on] Front Right: Capture 45 [98%] [29.00dB] [on] Simple mixer control 'Capture',1 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch penum Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 46 Front Left: Capture 0 [0%] [-16.00dB] [off] Front Right: Capture 0 [0%] [-16.00dB] [off] Simple mixer control 'Capture',2 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch penum Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 46 Front Left: Capture 0 [0%] [-16.00dB] [off] Front Right: Capture 0 [0%] [-16.00dB] [off] Simple mixer control 'Auto-Mute Mode',0 Capabilities: enum Items: 'Disabled' 'Enabled' Item0: 'Enabled' Simple mixer control 'Channel Mode',0 Capabilities: enum Items: '2ch' '4ch' '6ch' Item0: '6ch' Simple mixer control 'Input Source',0 Capabilities: cenum Items: 'Rear Mic' 'Front Mic' 'Line' Item0: 'Rear Mic' Simple mixer control 'Input Source',1 Capabilities: cenum Items: 'Rear Mic' 'Front Mic' 'Line' Item0: 'Rear Mic' Simple mixer control 'Input Source',2 Capabilities: cenum Items: 'Rear Mic' 'Front Mic' 'Line' Item0: 'Rear Mic' Simple mixer control 'Rear Mic',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch penum Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 31 Mono: Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [-34.50dB] [off] Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [-34.50dB] [off] Simple mixer control 'Rear Mic Boost',0 Capabilities: volume penum Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: 0 - 3 Front Left: 3 [100%] [30.00dB] Front Right: 3 [100%] [30.00dB] ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006258 Title: audio input for Intel 82801JI audio device not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1006258/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
