There are MIC, MIC1 <select> where you select MIC1 or MIC2 by using the 
up/down key, and AMIC.

As I have had the need for any of these I don't know what they do except 
to conclude that they have something to do with activating a microphone 
(?for Skype, ?for webcam). Oh, there is also the Mic Boost setting in 
all that.
