Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex...
Open Volume Control, the microphones (all inputs) are always muted.
- Open Volume control
- Select Recording tab
- All inputs are muted
- Unmute microphone/input
- Close Volume control
- Re-open, and microphone/inputs are still muted
It seems to record anyway with some software like Sound Recorder but
using Flash, there is no sound capture at all. This is happening on a
Dell 1521 AMD64 (HDA-Intel card) and a Averatec 3200 32bits (VIA card).
Note: The Averactec was upgraded to 8.10 several days ago... I managed
to record audio in Flash 10 by removing Pulseaudio. The I upgraded my
Dell laptop 2 days ago and no succes on this one. So to compare, I went
back to my Averatec, validated the sound capture was working in Flash,
reinstalled Pulseaudio and "updated at the same time". Now I have no
sound capture in Flash on the Averatec and the microphone cannot be
unmuted like the Dell.
I did remove Pulseaudio on both computer, rebooted, configure my default
sound to pulseaudio/alsa, played with .asoundrc and .asound.conf...
nothing worked.
It seems that Flash is considering the muted flag and it is not
impossible to broadcast thru Flash Player (blogTV, UStream).
Since it was working on my Averatec before the major update, and it does
not work after the update, whatever I do, it looks like something is
broken in the alsa layer.
I've looked in my logs, nothing is showing up beside this with
Pulseaudio on my Dell...
