Public bug reported: If I leave the computer off all night, I can get the microphone working. However, if I try it again after about 5 minutes, it doesn't work. So, as you can see, I know how to set up the levels in alsamixer and pavucontrol etc, but it only works for about 5 minutes and then I can do nothing. At first, sound recorder works and also skype test call. Later, in sound recorder, there is no movement from the recording level meter and the record and play buttons stay active, and the stop button is still inactive. The levels in alsamixer and pavucontrol remain the same as when it was all working. I've sent this throough apport so you should have enough info, but just in case:
