Yep, I have this problem too! On Lucid, but also appeared on Karmic. My microphone works only after I do the following: I go to sound-preferences, tab "Input". I find the connector drop-downlist. I switch to another connector and then back to the "microphone" (the one I started with).
After this I can see the input-level getting active, responding to sounds I make. This is on Nvidia hardware though: An MCP51 onboard card on an AM2 motherboard. ** Changed in: gnome-media (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- Microphone bug in Ubuntu HDA_Intel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37736 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
