After reviewing the alsa-info.sh data I submitted I noticed that the
'Capture' devices were "off". Returning to alsamixer for the hundredth
time, and examining the 'Capture' gauges carefully, I see (for the first
time!) that there are dashes at the bottom of both capture gauges. The
up\down arrows raise and lower the gauge level, buy "m" key has no
effect. Viola, the <spacebar> toggles the 'Capture' gauges on\off.
Turning the 'Capture' gauges on (using <spacebar>) enabled the internal
and external mics to be accessible to apps.
This was the first time in 10 years of using Debian that I've had to
enable Capture 'thingies'. Wasted enormous amount of time, but happy to
have things working, finally.
Should the default for Capture be 'off'?
