Public bug reported: When using the system testing tool I cannot hear anything recorded through the built-in microphone.
When I turn up the sensitivity in the sound preferences to the max it does seem to pick up sound, albeit with a lot of amplified static. The speakers are turned up and other sounds play normally (e.g. the logon sound). The microphone works OK in windows. Same thing applies to external microphone when connecting a headset. On top of this, the sound goes to headphones only when speakers (analog output) is selected in sound preferences. When I select analog headphones there is no sound. And I do use analog headset with normal microphone and headphone jacks.
