Created attachment 867275 [details] ALSA info from alsa-info Description of problem: A microphone plugged into the front jack of my desktop produces almost no signal. I've tried it with arecord, audacity, skype. I can get a little signal if I shout or blow into the mic. I frequently used the same microphone with Fedora 19, no problems. I've played with pavucontrol and alsamixer, to no avail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel: 3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64 pulseaudio-4.0-9.gitf81e3.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Try to use the mic with just about any audio application. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run skype, try to make a call. 2. Try to record live audio with arecord. 3. Try to record live audio with audacity. Actual results: No signal from the mic. Expected results: Good, clear signal from the mic. Additional info: I've attached the output of alsa-info
Checked the mic with other computers, doesn't work. Also tried headset mic through same jack, does work. So it was a HW issue on my end. Sorry for the false alarm.
