I did a small test on two machines I have here, one ALC888 + front mic and one IDT92xx + internal mic. I tested recording with Capture at +30 dB and Mic Boost at 0 dB, then I tested recording with Capture at 0 dB and Mic Boost at +30 dB.
For both machines, there was no significant difference in quality. So, this is very hardware dependent. We could flip it so that we raise Capture first and then Mic Boost, which would help here, so I'm seriously considering that - but the question is if this has negative effect on other hardware, maybe it's the other way around w r t to quality on other machines? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085402 Title: PulseAudio overuses 'Boost' control of microphone input producing bad audio quality To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1085402/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
