It firstly depends on the hardware as to whether the microphones can both be controlled separately. Secondly, I think that the gnome-media volume control does not yet allow the user to switch between input/output devices to control, whereas pavucontrol does.
So to fix this properly, we would need someone to add a new UI control to the gnome-media volume control applet, based on how pavucontrol does things. Being no UI designer, I don't feel I am in a position to help make this happen. -- Sound Prefrences applet does not offer a way for laptop users to use mic jack attached mic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/418617 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
