OK, it doesn't look like it's muted. The darker bulb means it is off. So the microphone is off (but line in is on, as it has a bright bulb). <div>On 5/6/07, Paul S <<a href="mailto:paulatgm@gmail.com">paulatgm@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Andrew M said the following on 05/06/2007 06:13 PM: > I don't think it's muted. How can I tell? enter "alsamixer" in a terminal and when the display pops up, hit "h" to get the menu. On my card, I hit F5 to show all and then can see that "mic" is the only input. But mine also shows volumes at zero for the "capture". I assume that these volumes need to be raised. > > I can hear sound. Even in Skype.

I can click the mouse on the bulb and it will glow brighter and I can also raise the volume. The other one is already at 100% and has a bright bulb. I assume the darker bulb means it's off (as would a zero volume).
