I have a Dell Inspiron 1520. Under Ubuntu 9.04, my mic is extremely quiet. Under Windows the mic is a good volume. I have crawled through alsa-mixer and all the sound options I can find in Ubuntu, but I can't get the volume above a whisper level.
Any ideas?
Update:
If I right click on a Volume Control icon and choose Volume Control I get This
Here is what is in this window. This is 2 levels, the first is the tabs, and the second is the things in the tabs
- Playback (All three of these control my system volume)
- Master
- PCM
- Front
- Recording (All of these options are turned up to 100% and not muted)
- Capture
- Capture 1
- Digital
- Mux
- Mux 1
- Switches
- IEC958 [Checked]
- IEC958 Default PCM [Checked]
- Analog Loopback [Not Checked]
- Options
- IEC958 Playback Source (Digital Playback, other choices are Mux and Mux 1)
- Digital Input Source (Digial Mic 1, other choice is Analog Inputs)
- Input Source (Mic, no other options)
- Input Source (Mic, no other options)

I have checked everything in the preferences window that comes up from the button below.
