It has been more than a year. I am trying out Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 from
a LiveUSB. I updated everything in the LiveUSB except the kernel and I'm
still seeing the exact same problem. Quite disappointing.

** Description changed:

  After doing an update on a bunch of pulseaudio packages my microphone
  stopped working.
  
  I played with Sound preferences, made sure "mute" was unchecked and I
  also tried in alsamixer to increase the mic boost and I tried out both
  "Internal" and "Mic" options.
  
  These are all the packages that were updated before it stopped working
  (from Synaptic history):
  
  indicator-applet (0.1.6-0ubuntu1) to 0.2.0~bzr319-0ubuntu4
  libpulse-browse0 (1:0.9.15-4ubuntu3) to 1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu1
  libpulse-mainloop-glib0 (1:0.9.15-4ubuntu3) to 1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu1
  libpulse0 (1:0.9.15-4ubuntu3) to 1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu1
  pulseaudio (1:0.9.15-4ubuntu3) to 1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu1
  pulseaudio-esound-compat (1:0.9.15-4ubuntu3) to 1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu1
  pulseaudio-module-bluetooth (1:0.9.15-4ubuntu3) to 1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu1
  pulseaudio-module-gconf (1:0.9.15-4ubuntu3) to 1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu1
  pulseaudio-module-x11 (1:0.9.15-4ubuntu3) to 1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu1
  pulseaudio-module-zeroconf (1:0.9.15-4ubuntu3) to 1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu1
  pulseaudio-utils (1:0.9.15-4ubuntu3) to 1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu1
  vlc (1.0.0-1ubuntu1) to 1.0.1-1ubuntu1
  vlc-nox (1.0.0-1ubuntu1) to 1.0.1-1ubuntu1
  Installed the following packages:
  libdvbpsi5 (0.1.6-1)
  libindicate-gtk0 (0.2.0~bzr319-0ubuntu4)
  libindicate2 (0.2.0~bzr319-0ubuntu4)
  pulseaudio-module-udev (1:0.9.16~test4-0ubuntu1)
  
  My hardware is this:
  $ cat /proc/asound/card*/codec\#*|grep -i codec
  Codec: Analog Devices AD1984A
  
  
  $ arecord -l

  $ lspci | grep -i audio

  Here is a screenshot of the pavucontrol and sound preferences and sound 
recorder:

  Here is a screenshot of alsamixer:
  http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/6275/screenshot6d.png
  
  You can see that the mic volume level seems to indicate sound coming in,
  but when I play the sound is just noise. It's almost as if it was trying
  to use the mic plug on the side of the laptop but not the builtin one.
  
    Sound output works fine.
  
  As per this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7739984&postcount=17 
 I created:
  ~/.asoundrc 
  pcm.pulse {
      type pulse
  }
  ctl.pulse {
      type pulse
  }
  pcm.!default {
      type pulse
  }
  ctl.!default {
      type pulse
  }
  
  ...after that, my Alsa mixer changed and it only shows this:
  http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/6919/alsai.png
  So I ended up reverting it and remove those changes from ~/.asoundrc 
  
  I'm running an up to date version of Karmic on a Thinkpad X300.
