How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect Microphone
2. Try to mute/unmute
3. Try to slide volume up/down
  
Actual results:
Not able to control volume of microphone. I cannot mute the microphone or change it's volume level (the microphone boost options work fine although). I can switch to mic2 using the microphone switch but then the microphone is completely disabled.


Expected results:
Should be able to control the microphone's volume.

Sounds like a mixer initialization issue to me.

Comment 2 Eddie Lania 2009-03-21 11:39:54 UTC

This is strange:

I experimented with the different playback channels and now it suddenly works again.

What I did: I enabled all playback channels in the preferences and started turning them on- and off.

Once I got to the "AC97" channel all other channels were working as aspected again.
