Comment 34 for bug 153119

I can't get the internal mic working at all, but I can get the external mic working - it took a while and even longer to fix the horrific distortion. However it now works fine so hopefully this will help other people:

    * set Digital Input Source (on playback screen!) to Analog Inputs (not Digital Input 1 as most people do)
    * capture the "Capture" device (not "Capture 1" device)
    * set "Digital" device sound to about two-thirds - any higher and it distorts badly
    * set "Capture" device to zero (if you set it higher you also get distortion)
