Public bug reported: In the previous installed distro in AlsaMixer (v.1.0.22), under recording i had "Capture" and "Input Source". From input source i selected front mic (external audio jack) or ATAPI mic (computer internal mic).
Now installed latest Pangolin, in Alsamixer (v.1.0.25) under recording i have: "Mic Boost", "Capture" and "Internal Mic Boost". I guess it should automagically connect the mics, because on plugging/unplugging the mic boosts change. But recording internal mic is quiet and recording external mic is noise.
