I have read dozens of sound how-tos and posts here and elsewhere but can't find instructions on how to do this.
I don't want to monitor my inputs. In other words:
My microphone input plays through my speakers, adding a lot of undesirable noise from the mic.
I can mute the mic inputs in alsamixer and/or in the Pulse volume control. This works to get the mic out of the speakers--but it also mutes my mic entirely, so I cannot record audio or use Google Talk.
I want the microphone muted in my output, but available to my apps.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
(I try, try, try to get on the Pulse bandwagon but it is so hard--I thought this was exactly what it was supposed to do, give easy mixing control over inputs and outputs. But I have to search for "fixes" with every single Ubuntu release for two years now, ever since it was first included. Grrr! OK, venting over, time to get it working!)
