My personal experience shows me that most of the time all the |
| 16 |
"silence in mic" is because of the muted (or very too quiet) or wrong |
| 17 |
selected recording device. |
| 18 |

I prefer to check this in 'alsamixer'. If you have several |
| 20 |
microphones on your PC, there should be a possibility to choose the |
| 21 |
device to record the sound from (on my system there are 'Line', |
| 22 |
'Internal Mic' and 'Mic' options). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If you choose a correct device, then check if it is not muted as well |
| 25 |
(a symbol 'M' in Alsamixer means 'muted'). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If the device you need is un-muted, then raise the volume level (or |
| 28 |
maybe 'Mic Boost' as well). |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
If none of the above helps, then perhaps your device wasn't properly |
| 31 |
set up. You need to specify you soundcard model by hand in some cases. |
| 32 |
For example, on my laptop I added the string |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
options snd-hda-intel model="targa-8ch-dig" |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
to the file '/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf' and rebooted, after which I got |
| 37 |
an access to all of the features of my soundcard. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Hope this helps. |
