Pressing F6 in Asamixer shows the mic unmuted and at 5% volume When I press F4, the word Capture (in red) appears above the mic. It is interesting to note that GMixer->Rcording tab says the device is called Capture Should it not be Mic ?? How/where is GMixer configured? Why is it picking the device called Capture instead of Mic? pavucontrol shows the client to be arecord. But arecord does not record anything. aplay foobar.wav is all silent, even with boost 20db on. If it is an alsa driver problem, should it not have been there prior to pulseaudio? Prior to pulseaudio, I had no problems with record and playback.
