Sorry to post so much - I wish I could consolidate or edit all these posts. The next day I came back and it didn't work in Zoom. I tried a bunch of things listed on the following web page, starting with simplest first, from
https://support.system76.com/articles/audio/ until finally I did sudo apt install --reinstall alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio linux- sound-base libasound2 then I rebooted and sudo alsa force-reload and it worked. Which is weird, I think, because I just did this reinstall of these modules 3 days ago. I don't think the versions of these modules changed. I don't know what's going on. My guess is that it breaks because something changes a configuration file. And then I guess it's fixed when the configuration file is re-initialized by re- installing these modules. I wish I could pinpoint it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840725 Title: Microphone not working in Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS on new hp- spectre-x360-convertible-15 laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1840725/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
