[Bug 275998] Re: internal mic capture very low volume when routed through pulseaudio

[Jesper de Jong]

I have just installed Jaunty (amd64) on my Dell XPS M1530 and the
problem still exists. I've found a way to make it work acceptably,
however.

First, install pavucontrol. Then, go to the PulseAudio manager (command:
paman). Go to Devices, Sources, click the alsa_input... device and click
Properties. In the dialog that opens, set the volume to approx. 135%.
Test with Sound Recorder if the level is OK. (I've found that the slider
is quite sensitive, setting it higher, for example to 150% produces a
too loud sound and lots of white noise).

In Skype (I installed Skype from Medibuntu): Set Sound In, Sound Out and
Ringing to "pulse". (It looks like in this version of Skype and Ubuntu,
it works if you use pulse for Sound In). Make sure that "Allow Skype to
automatically adjust levels" is UNchecked.
