Same bug here. ICH6 older Sony VAIO with pulseaudio. I have an inelegant solution.
If I add the first "Input Source" from the volume manager, the click the "options" tab, then change "Mic" to "Front Mic", try to record something (doesn't work), and change "Front Mic" back to "Mic", then try to record (it works). Skype also works after this (it is configured to use pulseaudio). -- [hardy] low sound volume for some applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192040 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
