Hey Guys: <br><br>So there were 3 pieces of advice I received on why the Ext Mic on<br>my Gutsy Ubuntu ain&#39;t showing no lurv.&nbsp; The error I get while<br>testing sound capture is : <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Failed to construct test pipeline for 
</span><br style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">&#39;gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat&#39;</span><br><br>1. The first clue was that link you sent Kassen, about the modem being
<br>disabled in my BIOS. So I reboot, hit F10 and get in PhoenixBIOS<br>utility, where there are no signs of any modem. How do I access this<br>modem in the BIOS? What modem is this? <br><br>2. Second I found this: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer/+bug/131711">
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer/+bug/131711</a><br>So I took one guys advice about installing esound after which my chuck --probe gives the <br>following output (see below mail). Its showing 2 duplex channels but no capture happens!!!!
<br>It&#39;s probably not a problem in Chuck, cuz even Audacity doesn&#39;t capture nuffink. <br><br>Any ideas on what I could try next? I only understand Klingon!!<br><br>&nbsp;- djf <br><br>fadereu@fadeurium:~$ chuck --probe
