Hi,

Possibly you have an IRQ routing problem. As I have with my Azalia HDA
Intel card. All you need to do is make an alsa-base.conf file under
/etc/modprobe.d as root with the following single line:
 options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1

and save it.

After syster restarts, you'll have your mic. If not, then report to me back.

Cu,

Zoltan

On F14.
Pulseaudio daemion is running.
I can hear media playing.
But I am unable to use microphone.
i,e. no matter what app I use the mic
with, (as in skype, or  gnome-sound-recorder
or aurecord), my mic does not pick up my voice.
I have a built-in and an external. Neither one
is picking my voice.
gnome-volume-control-applet shows me that
I can select mic1 or mic2 as input.
Neither one is working.
I wonder if this is a pulseaudio issue?
Try installing pavucontrol. Click on the Input Devices tab. Unlock the
two sliders and move *one* to mute.

Does that give you any capture volume?

Did that. I experimented with sliding the left chanel all the way
back, and tried to record. No sound. Only some white noice
in the right speaker.
Then I tried with sliding the right chanel all the way back.
Still no sound from recording. White noise from left speaker.
the gnome-sound-recorder has a level meter while recording.
The level meter does not budge.


Everyone:

I have never been able to get F14 or any other flavor of Fedora to recognize any microphone that I have used.

I tried it with a Dell Inspiron 2500. The built-in videocam worked, but the mike? No joy.

Then I tried it on a mini-tower with a Plantronics USB stereo headset with microphone. Again no joy.

And just to be sure, I plugged it into another box that had Windows 7 installed. And there it worked. I used Skype and talked with someone for an hour and a half.

So: what is wrong with Fedora and microphones?
