Created attachment 386706 [details] how i tried configure sound Description of problem: I cannot configure microphone to work via sound preferences gui. In old gnome audio gui i had the option to select shared microphone device. I have a sound blaster card (CA0106), in alsamixer from commandline i can go to capture devices and change analog source to "mic" and shared source to "mic in". There is no way i can do that in gui right now. I do have a setting "connector" , i can select "analog microphone" or "analog input" - yet no sound can be recorded - only positive result i got via changing settings of alsamixer. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. open sound prefereces 2. set analog microphone as sound input 3. try to record something Actual results: nothing gets recorded Expected results: sound is recorded Additional info: I was able to record sound when i changed alsamixer settings.
Please run "amixer -c0" and attach the output here, then tell me exactly which element in that output is the one that is apparently not covered but should be covered by gnome-volume-control.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 now because I was testing other distros to see if the problem is there too. Unfortunately it is. My attachement comes from Ubuntu, but I hope this still helps - the steps i had to do to be able to record audio were EXACTLY the same in both distros - here is what i had to do to make it work: i had to change those settings in alsamixer : Simple mixer control 'Analog Source',0 Capabilities: cenum Items: 'Phone' 'Mic' 'Line in' 'Aux' Item0: 'Mic' Was before: Item0: 'Line in' Simple mixer control 'Shared Mic/Line in',0 Capabilities: cenum Items: 'Line in' 'Mic in' Item0: 'Mic in' Was before: Item0: 'Line in'
OK, this is very helpful and should be enough information to allow me to fix this.
This is now fixed in git upstream. I'll eventually upload a new version to F12 In the meantime you can apply this patch: http://git.0pointer.de/?p=pulseaudio.git;a=patch;h=7d6bab0d003386baba3ff3fad4cc3caa5839b361 to /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-input.conf.common. That will give you the same effect without having to wait for my update. (restart pa with pulseaudio -k) (if you try this, would be good to report back. While the change is pretty straightforward it's still good to have feedback.)
Created attachment 394797 [details] what options i had after patch got applied
Hai Lennart, I can confirm that after I applied that patch (again - on ubuntu 9.10). I was able to make the sound work nicely, I had ton of options where at least few of those worked well. I'm just not convinced if this should look like this ? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=394797 This is how it looks right now, and it works well for me. Thanks for fixing this!
Yepp, this list is indeed crap, we probably need to be a bit smarter about merging entries here...
