Public bug reported: For many days, the microphone in my laptop was not working. When i connect USB webcams which has Mic inbuilt in them, that Mic worked without drivers. But onboard Mic on my laptop never worked.
Later i found that it is not working in Windows vista too. So at that point i concluded it is an hardware issue. But before doing that itself, i was wrongly assuming it was an issue of Ubuntu(10.04) and was randomly checking the net to find a solution. Then i landed on this site - http://10xforce.blogspot.in/2007/06/ubuntu- microphone-problems-and.html and did whatever mentioned there, to find in last that i totally lost the audio in my laptop! Only after that i read the comments in the blog and found one more guy posted same issue!!! Without reading that, i went ahead with the instructions on that blog and now lost my audio :((( Kindly help me sort this issue :) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: pulseaudio 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu14 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-21.32-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-21-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: wl nvidia AlsaDevices: Error: command ['ls', '-l', '/dev/snd/'] failed with exit code 2: ls: cannot access /dev/snd/: No such file or directory AplayDevices: aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...
