Comment 58 for bug 409819

Hi All,

I found a solution at other bug reports regarding the same issue. A solution for my mic problems was:

1.) install the "linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic" package
2.) then do a reboot
3.) After reboot start "alsamixer" (e.g. via terminal)
4.) Ensure that the microfon mixer, for me it was called "capture" (not the mic boost) is set to 100%
5.) Leave "alsamixer" with ESC and run the "audio-recorder" to test

Maybe it is a help for you too. ;)
