Mic is not working

[RooFYzz]

I have NoteBook Acer Aspire 5935G and i have recently updated to version 11.04 however my mic is not working neither on the current version nor the previous ones??

I had Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit that I put on a new WD 500 GB HDD into my Acer aspipre 5251-1805, and my mic used to work, but at one point, stopped. I tried everything and installed all sorts of new packages and downloads and sudo'd my **** off. But the mic would show that it had a frequency detected, as the bar would go up and down, but when I tried Skype or Google Talk, it didn't work. I tried a basic Ubuntu Software Record program and it would not record, even while I watched in the sound preferences as the bar for the mic reading showed my voice was registering sound wavs being "heard" ... they just couldn't be recorded or sent over the Internet.

Have you tried using your mic built in, in addition to an external generic plug-in mic, too? I have tried both, same results. I don't know when it exaCTLY stopped WORKING, BUT IT did WORK ONCE BEFORE.

aLSO, THE EXTERNAL MIC HAS BEEN SET UP IN gOOGLE tALK AND SHOWS THAT IT WORKS AS WELL AS MY WEBCAM, BUT NO RECORDING OR PEOPLE HEARING ME CALL THEM. bUILT IN OR EXTERNAL.

wHAT HAVE YOU TRIED?

Hit f4, and make sure the capture is all the way up.

Any chance of a bit of help with mine, please? Similar problem, but it's a Realtek ALC888 internal sound on an ASRock M3A785GMH/128M motherboard (custom-built PC).

The output file is here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4a...8512186454e628

Thanks in advance!

Hi, and a thousand thanks. It gave me a couple of new inputs, but still no recording from mic or line-in. It's taking input (I can hear it through the speakers) but no matter what settings I seem to use I can't get Sound Recorder or Audacity to record anything.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
