Fixing Low Microphone Volume Problem with PulseAudio/ALSA on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex running on Dell XPS M1330

By Fırat Can Başarır | Published: October 28, 2008
  1. Open Application -> Sound & Video -> PulseAudio Device Chooser
  2. Click on the “PulseAudio Applet” on the system tray and open “Manager”.
  3. Click on the “Devices” tab, select “alsa_output.pci_8086_284b_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0.monitor” which is the “Monitor Source of ALSA…”
  4. Click properties and set the volume to maximum (480% on my computer)
  5. Record a song using the gnome-sound-recorder for testing.

    Thanks a lot for the tip ! That was the only thing that made the sound capture work on Skype using external microphone on a Toshiba Satellite with Ubuntu 8.10n
