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

[arnarag]

I'm running a Dell xps m1330 and managed to fix this. The problem for me
was pulseaudio. What I did was that I removed pulseaudio and installed
esound instead.

I used this guide here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=973637

After this I set everything in System -> Preferences -> Sound
Preferences to "ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" and in Default
Mixer Tracks I set it to HDA Intel and chose Master - Capture - Digital
and Mux. I have no idea if this is relevant, but it works for me with
these settings. Then I went to sound settings in the top right corner
and just turned everything up, unmuted everything and in HDA Intel ->
Options I set Digital Input Source to Digital 1 and the rest to Front
Mic.

I've tried this with sound recorder and Skype. In Skype options -> sound
devices I set everything to Default Device but unchecked the Allow Skype
to... thing.

Hope this works for more users,
Arnar
