This is now solved. ------ 1 ------ Headset jacks on newer laptops - http://voices.canonical.com/david.henningsson/2014/03/07/headset-jacks-on-newer-laptops/.
Solved by adding "options snd-hda-intel model=,dell-headset-multi" in "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf". ------ 2 ------ Pulseaudio remixing was disabled. I had disabled Pulseaudio remixing to avoid upmixing of stereo audio streams when using a multi-channel output (5.1 digital output). Disabling Pulseaudio remixing gave problems when watching multi-channel movies in Totem or VLC and using stereo output. I only got audio from the front-left and front-right audio tracks, no audio from the center, back-left and back-right audio tracks. I therefor re-enabled Pulseaudio and at the same time I noticed that all my mics suddenly worked fine again in Pulseadio! Enable/disable Pulseaudio remixing is done in "/etc/pulse/daemon.conf", look for "enable-remixing". It is enabled by default! --------------- So this was not a bug, it was configuration problems caused by myself! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1395501 Title: input devices found, but there is no input level To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1395501/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
