Ubuntu :: Very Low Microphone Input In Lucid?

May 16, 2010

Having setup lucid lynx, I am struggling with the sound setup. Output is fine, but I can barely hear myself in Skype, after a make a test call, to listen to my own voice. The sound preferences dialog offers multiple device settings to configure, with most offering 3 mic inputs. I've maximized all of them, and yet still no change. I have to make lots of Skype calls every day. This is a Dell xps m1530 laptop.

Software :: Microphone Input Is Vanished

Aug 1, 2010

The internal microphone never worked, but external worked fine through the input jack with all programs, including Skype.Then, I noticed that the mixer no longer had a microphone control (including in alsamixer). No recording program would work any more, BUT - Skype still worked! OK, so the only program that needs sound input that I use is Skype, so I just left it that way. But now I downloaded a newer version of Skype, and ran it, and my microphone was dead. So I went back to the old version, which used to work fine, and the mic is dead in that too. To make sure it wasn't a setting, I moved the whole .Skype directory out of the way. Still no sound at all from the mic. when I did the Skype test call.

The hardware must be OK, as I am a heavy Skype user and had no problems. Simply running the newer version killed it instantly, and i cannot get it working again. I don't understand why the microphone input control is no longer available. No mixer program can see it. It used to be there, but then there it was, gone!

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Casio Keyboard AUX To USB Microphone Input?

Dec 12, 2010

I am trying to get the sounds that are played on the Casio CTK-651 keyboard from the keyboard into ubuntu or windows. I can get the signal, but no sound is played back under Windows when it's connected with an AUX-to-USB connector. When I do it with the MIDI-to-USB connector in windows and ubuntu, whenever I press a key, I get what is programmed into LMMS through connecting in a channel. I can't get the piano or guitar or whatever sound that the keyboard is making into the computer. I can upload some video to show what I'm talking about with the aux connector.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Microphone / Sound Input Not Working

Jan 21, 2011

I've tried to look for a solution for a few days now, and haven't had any results so far. I really hope you can help me so I can get to talk with my girlfriend.I'm running Lubuntu with 10.04 LTS, and alsa version 1.0.23 on Samsung NC10.Hardware works, soundcard is recognized by the OS, modules are loaded, alsamixer volume up and unmuted, sound output is ok, arecord or sound recorder don't get input.

- The microphone hardware works. Having the volumes up I hear the noise from the speakers when tapping the microphone.
- Soundcard is recognized by OS (and like I said, music and all other sound output is perfectly fine)

OpenSUSE Hardware :: No Sound Input From My Microphone

Jun 17, 2011

I have no sound input from my microphone. With a fresh install of 11.4/gnome desktop it was working.

Then all I did was installing the multimedia support from the script in the opensuse guide (which interestingly includes some files for k3b so I suspect there is a conflict of libraries now that some kde libs have been installed) and a full system update. After that, my mic has stopped working.

If it helps at all, the output of the ALSA Information Script at my machine is hosted at: [url]

Hardware :: Microphone Input Fails For IPod / What To Do?

Feb 18, 2011

I'm running Fedora 14 and have installed a Creative Audigy SB0790 card which runs off the CA0106 driver. The sound output is just fine when playing internal sources like sound files and CD's. However, when I plug my iPod into the microphone port, I get no output from the card. I can see that the signal is getting in as pavcontrol, gnome-volume-control, and gstreamer-properties all show activity. In fact, I can hear the signal when running gstreamer-properties, but not after I close it. Is there some special setting or app needed to play music through the mike port?

Debian Multimedia :: No Microphone Recording But Input Does Works In Some Way

Aug 12, 2011

For some time, my microphone input doesn't reach the recording application, but instead goes directly to the loudspeaker. If I make a sound in the microphone, it will go to the loudspeakers, and Audacity or Skype will not "hear" anything (and of course, with this set-up, there's a constant noise in the loudspeaker, coming from the microphone).This problem goes away if I install PulseAudio. So obviously, there's nothing broken with either of ALSA or hardware, only some misconfiguration somewhere, and PulseAudio can make a sense of the mess. Playing with all sorts of configurations in Alsamixer didn't help.

Unfortunately, I don't want PulseAudio, because it causes output problems which are a bit too subtle for me to describe coherently here. So I'd rather fix ALSA than Pulse.Please direct me into how to investigate this. The OS is Debian Unstable, the audio card is an integrated Intel ALC1200.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Microphone Works Only After Switching To Another Input Setting And Back

May 7, 2010

since 9.10.My microphone works, BUT only after I open the 'Sound Preferences' panel, and change the setting under the 'Connector' tab to another selection (any will do), then set it back to 'Microphone 1'.Since this works, I wondered if there is a way to make this happen automatically at every login?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Record Microphone Input Using Ffmpeg / Alsa Always Receive Error

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Use Microphone In Lucid

Dec 3, 2010

At some point i probably messed up my sound configuration, and now i cant record anymore.

What works : * I have pulseaudio, i can play sound from several apps simultaneously, eg : mpd + vlc + firefox + skype

Remarks :

* pulse-audio is as system-wide installed.
* I have installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.32-26-generic
* I have 1 internal sound card (on the main board) + 1 ATI graphic card with HDMI output (and thus a sound chip)
* I have 2 output-plugs (1 normal + 1 headphone)
* I have 3 inputs (2 microphones + 1 line in)
* In the past, i installed a PCI sound card, for testing. It may remains old configuration files related to it.

THE PROBLEMS :

* I can not record. In the Pulse-applet / Volume control, in the tab "recording", in the tab "input device" (i translate from french), i can choose between mic1, mic2 and line in, but none of them has any effect on the volume meter.

* In the the tab "configuration", there is no sound card listed, just the message "no car available for configuration" ... that might show that smthg is wrong ! Notice that in the past (but still under lucid), it used to work. There was here all the cards (internal + HDMI video card) listed.

Output of alsa-info.sh :

Code:
upload=true&script=true&cardinfo=
!!################################
!!ALSA Information Script v 0.4.59

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Microphone Disappears When Running Webcam On HP, Lucid?

May 10, 2010

I just installed ubuntu lucid x64 on an HP dv7-3065dx and even though the installation went pretty smoothly, every time I open cheese or anything else that uses the webcam, the microphone all of a sudden cuts off. It doesn't receive input. However if I use the microphone without camera then the microphone works.... Is the webcam somehow crashing the microphone?? Is there something wrong with pulseaudio? The webcam works great and is recognized as "HP Webcam".

Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To "listen" To A Microphone Input

Jun 10, 2010

I have a vinyl turntable. The only output it has are some RCA cables. I've connevted these to other RCA cables, so now, I can put it into one of the audio in jacks on my computer. It's just a standard microphone plug. In Windows, there was an option that would let me listen to the input, and this would be the only way I could listen to my vinyls. In kubuntu, I can't find any way to do so. I don't want to have to boot into Windows 7 every time I want to listen to my vinyls, so is there any way I can get around this?

Ubuntu Installation :: Keyboard Input Broken On Upgrade To Lucid?

Jul 27, 2010

previosuly installed products that mapped keys, but I dont have and have never had any of them. reset the keyboard to default settings, which I happily did to no avail.
So for me, since I upgraded, keyboard input (either local or via VNC, so it isnt hardware) does nothing for either the caps lock key or the shift key. Kinda makes it imnpossible to eneter @ or any uppercase character, for example !

May 24, 2010

For the last 3 release all my hardware have been working like a charm. But after upgrading to Lycid I have problems with skype. I fix the camera issues with the following command

It must be another way.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Change Stereo Mic Input To Mono Input?

Nov 4, 2010

I recently got a real fancy unidirectional microphone, but when I go and use it, something strange happens. The mic is a mono mic, but when I record something, it appears to think it's stereo. Instead of having the same thing on both channels, it puts it all in the left channel, and silence on the right channel.

I tried fiddling with alsamixer. In capture (F4), adjusting the "Capture" device has an effect. However, it doesn't do anything useful. Lowering the right channel to zero does nothing, lowering the left channel to zero creates silence, and disabling the right channel creates silence.

In my System>Preferences>Sound (or pavucontrol, or what-have-you), there are "Analog Stereo Input" and "Analog Stereo Duplex" options there, but no "Analog Mono Input" or "Analog Stereo Output + Analog Mono Input" options (the latter being ideal).

Something interesting, though, if I do this:
Code:
arecord -r 96000 -D pulse -c 1 -vv -V mono /dev/null
it works correctly and outputs on both channels. But if I do
Code:
arecord -r 96000 -D pulse -c 2 -vv -V stereo /dev/null
then it's back to the same behavior. The VU meter on the second command shows the left channel going up and down as I make noise, but the right one always at zero.

The machine does have a crap internal mic built in to the screen bezel. If I do either of the above commands, they both work correctly. The stereo VU shows the same activity for both channels.

The machine is a Eee 1015PED, which has Intel integrated sound. Something probably insignificant is that the mic has a 1/4 inch mono plug, and to get it to plug into the Eee, I needed to get a 1/4 female to 1/8 male adapter. The mic's 1/4 plug is mono (duh) and therefore two-conductor, but the adapter I got is stereo, or three conductor (L, R, GND). I don't know if this is tripping something in hardware to tell it it's stereo or something.

I tried the mic on my desktop, which has a SB Audigy 4 (the non-pro flavor) and that has the "Analog Mono Input" function, so that works fine. Is there some way to turn this stereo input into mono input?

Ubuntu :: Japanese Input - 10.04 - SCIM Input Program ?

I would like to use Japanese kana (hiragana, katakana, kanji) on Ubuntu but everything that I've tried to get it set up and running isn't working. The Spanish that I have set up is working perfectly so far.

I've read, the SCIM input program should start up automatically when loading a program, it doesn't. When I have it loaded I cannot seem to get the input working.
