no input sources appear in the sound settings in ubuntu 13.10 even though i can select inputs in pavucontrol (front microphone, back microphone, line in). sound recording works (at least on the alsa level).
this is the regression, as sound inputs sources show up correctly in the old ubuntu 10.10 installed in another partition. arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 2: ALC888 Alt Analog [ALC888 Alt Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 where can i find information about the relation between alsa and the things that appear in sound preferences? who decides that the microphone is present in pavucontrol but is missing from sound settings applet? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946232 Title: [Meta-bug] Missing speaker and/or internal mic port Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “pulseaudio” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: ==== Read me first ==== If you're suffering from one of the following problems: 1) In the sound settings dialog, when you plug your headphones into the designated 3.5 mm jack, there is a "Headphones" device correctly shown, but when you unplug it, there is no "Speaker" device shown, even though you have internal speakers on your computer. 2) In the sound settings dialog, when you plug your external microphone into the designated 3.5 mm jack, there is a "Microphone" (or similar) device correctly shown, but when you unplug it, there is no "Internal Mic" device shown, even though you have an internal mic on your computer. If so, please try the workaround in comment #32. IF AND ONLY IF that is working for you, please attach alsa info (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/AlsaInfo ) to this bug, together with the name of your machine (e g "Dell Latitude D620"). I'll try to include it in a list of devices that we have to manually enable and release it as an update to 12.04. Note: Assuming you run a standard Ubuntu kernel, this bug only appears in 3.2 kernels ("uname -r" should output something starting with "3.2."). Therefore, another workaround would be to upgrade to a later kernel (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack ). If this does not help, you're suffering from a different bug, and then please file a separate bug report. Thanks! - and sorry for causing the bug in the first place :-/ // David Henningsson ==== The following machines are known to be affected (no more alsa-info needed) : # Acer AOA150 # Acer Aspire 4810TZ # Acer Aspire 1810TZ # Packard bell dot m/a # Acer AOD260, AO532h # Dell MXC051 # Dell Inspiron 6400 and E1505 # Dell Latitude D620 # Dell Latitude D820 # Dell Latitude D520 # Dell Latitude D420 # Dell Inspiron 1525 # Dell Inspiron 1011 # Dell XPS 14 (L401X) # Dell XPS 15 (L501X) # Dell XPS 15 (L502X) # Asus 904HA (1000H) # Asus T101MT # Sony Vaio VGN-SR21M # Sony Vaio VPC-W115XG # Fujitsu Lifebook S7110 # Fujitsu Lifebook A530 # Toshiba A200 # MSI X360 # Lenovo 3000 Y410 ==== ==== SRU Justification === First, sorry if this bug is a bit messy, but I think it would be even more messy if I spread the information across several bugs. Here's some explanation: The long-term fix is already in Quantal, because we backported the "Phantom Jack" support into Ubuntu's 3.5 kernel. Together with that comes a small PulseAudio patch, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- audio-dev/pulseaudio/ubuntu.precise/revision/519/debian/patches/0624 -alsa-mixer-Add-Phantom-Jack-support.patch - the reason I want this in 12.04 is to provide a better experience for users running the quantal kernel on precise, i e, the backport kernel coming with 12.04.2. In addition to that, while doing an SRU I could just as well add a few more quirks for affected machines showing up after the previous SRU, so that is now done in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio- dev/pulseaudio/ubuntu.precise/revision/520/debian/patches/0625-alsa- mixer-Add-a-few-more-machines-to-internal-mic-w.patch [Impact] Several laptops (see above list) are missing mostly internal mics, but sometimes also speakers in the Sound Settings / PulseAudio. This leads to an inability to control volume for these devices, and often not being able to use them at all. [Test Case] * Have an affected machine * Notice that when your mic is unplugged, the "internal mic" is correctly shown in the sound settings [Regression Potential] The quirk-style fix only affects the machines above. The long-term fix affects only users of a newer (quantal or later) kernel. ==== I have an DELL Inspiron 6400. As it seems ubuntu precise beta1 thinks it has a digital ouput. In the audio settings it says Play sound through: »Digital Output (S/PDIF)« As you can see there → http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins6400/en/om/specs.htm#wp1054816 it has no S/PDIF output. The audio Settings doesn't let me change the mode. Sometime the system sets the mode to »Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output« but the drop-down list menu is grayed out so I can't change it. If I plug in and out my headphones the system changes the mode to »Analog Stereo Output« and I can hear Sound again. If you need more Information please let me know.
