Hi acid9,

Let's get a look at your sound setup with this command:

Code: Select all

curl https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/raw/master/src/utils/pa-info?inline=false | bash | nc termbin.com 9999

The last line of output will have a URL pointing to the info.

[acid9]

ok what does this code do?

[MrEen]

It gathers all the info about your sound setup and uploads it to termbin.com, then gives you the URL.

Okay, I'm assuming you're talking about the internal mic, so run these:

Code: Select all

amixer -c1 set Capture 100% toggle

Code: Select all

amixer -c1 set 'Internal Mic Boost' 1

Then test the mic.

[acid9]

still nothing i go to google and push the mic in the search and it said No Internet Connection and i look to see if my mic was on and yes it's on

[MrEen]

That sounds like a different issue to me. No Internet Connection is very different than anything to do with the microphone. But as I don't use whatever it is you're trying to use, we can double check that those last settings took. Paste the output of this please:

Code: Select all

amixer -c1

And we should look at this one as well just in case:

[MrEen]

Okay, this could be part of the issue:

Code: Select all

ports:
analog-input-internal-mic: Internal Microphone (priority 8900, latency offset 0 usec, available: unknown)

That ending of available: unknown is not good.

See if this fixes it:

Install (if necessary) and run PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol) and on the Input Devices tab lower the right channel slider all the way to zero. If you only see one slider, click on the lock icon to expose the left and right channel sliders.

EDIT: I forgot we were in the Xfce forum. You have pavucontrol installed already. Selecting Audio Mixer when you click on the volume icon will open it.

[acid9]

i can go to discord.com and push the mic to talk and i get nothing

[acid9]

i when to Software Manager and look for PulseAudio Volume Control and it pop up install already i start it up it work im new at this i know some but not all

[MrEen]

I'm not sure exactly what was meant. Did that work to get the microphone functioning?
