Description of problem: No sound pickup from the internal microphone of a dell vostro 1310. I believe the driver is intel hda driver and the chip to be Realtek ALC268. I have attempted a number of fixes such as creating alsa-base.conf and setting options, as well as removing pulseaudio, but to no avail. Also played around with the mixer in KDE4, but couldn't find setting that would work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 11 How reproducible: Using the sound recorder to capture sound from the internal microphone, the playback is always blank. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start gnome-sound-recorder. Press record. 2. Make some noise. 3. Press play. Actual results: Output is silent Expected results: Hear some noise. Additional info:
Does "alsactl init" make this work for you? Have you played around with "alsamixer -c0"? Also, if removing PA has no effetc than this shouldn't be filed against PA, should it? Reassigning to alsa.

Yes, but to be honest, I've little idea which bits I should be fiddling with. There are 2 captures and mic and front mic. However, nothing produces much more than popping or static. | Also, if removing PA has no effetc than this shouldn't be filed against PA, should it? Apologies. I have misunderstood the role of pulseaudio.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Still having problems in Fedora 13. There was a faint recording in cheese, but when I tried to turn up the gain in the KDE mixer and try again, the only audible sound was a lot of popping.
Does the solution in this bug comment help? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=542924#c8

I've been "playing around" with "alsamixer -c0" for years now. Sometimes my mic comes to life when I select front mic, sometimes it doesn't. I understand that this is not a PA problem, but an "alsa" problem, but why doest it not work so consistently as years go by? Leonard, are you taking consistent heat for lower level issues? Aren't you tired of this? I'd love to love PA, but I'm going insane playing around with paman, alsamixer, alsamixer -c0, pulseaudio -k, etc to no avail.
