I have just installed Jaunty (amd64) on my Dell XPS M1530 and the problem still exists. I've found a way to make it work acceptably, however.
First, install pavucontrol. Then, go to the PulseAudio manager (command: paman). Go to Devices, Sources, click the alsa_input... device and click Properties. In the dialog that opens, set the volume to approx. 135%. Test with Sound Recorder if the level is OK. (I've found that the slider is quite sensitive, setting it higher, for example to 150% produces a too loud sound and lots of white noise). In Skype (I installed Skype from Medibuntu): Set Sound In, Sound Out and Ringing to "pulse". (It looks like in this version of Skype and Ubuntu, it works if you use pulse for Sound In). Make sure that "Allow Skype to automatically adjust levels" is UNchecked. -- internal mic capture very low volume when routed through pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275998 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
