Try to unmute the 'Capture' control, also, volume for the internal mic may be increased using 'Internal Mic' controls. I unmutted the mic and things are better. Is there any work being done to get some standard sound options to be set the same way for all cards during the initial insall? It seems like any sound option (like capture) of a card should get a default configuration setting. This would make our default sound values more predictable no matter which vendor/adapter we configure. I tried changing the capture and volume settings which at low volume help, but there is still a severe amount of static captured when recording on this laptop.

The RHEL5 contains alsaunmute and there were different rules to set the initial valume levels. |
