My internal microphone seems very quiet in certain applications. Details
below:
1. Sound Recorder works fine; it records sound, and then plays that sound
back, at fine volumes.
2. The "audio tests" run as part of "ubuntu-bug audio" recorded and played
back sound fine as well
3. Skype records the audio very, very, very quietly indeed
4. Mumble shows the volume of recorded speech as incredibly quiet in the
setup audio wizard (same problem as Skype, it looks like)
Alsamixer only shows two items for Capture: "Capture" and "Analog Mic
Boost". Capture is set to 100; Analog Mic Boost is set to 10dB.
Increasing Analog Mic Boost causes the sound to become very crackly and
have a large amount of background noise.
