I opened terminal as you said and the message says I already have the
latest version.  When I type pavucontrol on the program launcher the
only option is pulse audio control which per Synaptic is pavucontrol.
Under pulse audio control, input devices, All except Monitors, is says
there are no input devices available.  Under Moniors it shows an
option for controlling front left and front right more like a speaker
control, but in any case that is not muted.  Under Hardware Inout
Devices there are are no input devices available.

ubuntu is not detecting my microphone.

Thanks for you efforts.
