On Vostro 3360 same problem System somehow detects 2 mics - Inetrnal Microphone and Microphone. Alsamixer shows that Microphone volume is 0, but increasing it does not help.
By the way, alsa in 13.04 is glitchy - system sounds come with creaks and noises. lpspci output: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) Subsystem: Dell Device 055c Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 44 Memory at d0610000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1127699 Title: Internal microphone does not working in Dell 3420 with Ubuntu Raring To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1127699/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
