Dear All, Attached is the screenshot of my $alsamixer status in Ubuntu Gutsy. audio outputs are all working fine, but I can't seem to get my external microphone working with anything - Chuck programming language, Audacity, etc. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Intel is known for it's low-end products, so you might very well be out of luck. Try chuck --probe so we can see what chuck sees. Prepare for upgrading to a better card, though. Gasten

On the bright side, Cheap Intel products mean a large install-base so a better chance of finding solutions. So far on Linux my crap ac97 card works a lot better (at all) then my good EMU 1616m (fortunately bound to change with the next ALSA update) dude, you're scaring me.....
fadereu@fadeurium:~$ chuck --probe
[chuck]: found 2 device(s) ...
[chuck]: ------( chuck -- dac1 )---------------
...........
[chuck]: # output channels = 0 [chuck]: # input channels = 2
.................. [chuck]: ------( chuck -- dac2 )---------------
[chuck]: # output channels = 2 [chuck]: # input channels = 0 [chuck]: # duplex Channels = 0
Right, so it does input or output but not both at the same time. Years ago that would be "crap" but now I'm leaning towards "something must be wrong" as "duplex" is hardly a new and exciting thing anymore. I pulled a quick Google to see if this is really a card that has no duplex (recording while playing back) and stumbled upon something that might be even better info; http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_82801G_HDA Did you see that? Did you perhaps disable the modem? That would make it a easy fix, otherwise we'll have to trace if the card is indeed crap or if ALSA is wrong or -oh unthinkable of options- ChucK might have a issue. I also saw lots of other pages about issues with this chipset but they seemed to be about it not working at all instead of having to pick which half works so that's probably a different sort of thing. Weird stuff, I hope it's the modem. Yours, Kas.
Hey Guys: So there were 3 pieces of advice I received on why the Ext Mic on my Gutsy Ubuntu ain't showing no lurv. The error I get while testing sound capture is : Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' 1. The first clue was that link you sent Kassen, about the modem being disabled in my BIOS. So I reboot, hit F10 and get in PhoenixBIOS utility, where there are no signs of any modem. How do I access this modem in the BIOS? What modem is this? 2. Second I found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer/+bug/131711 So I took one guys advice about installing esound after which my chuck --probe gives the following output (see below mail). Its showing 2 duplex channels but no capture happens!!!! It's probably not a problem in Chuck, cuz even Audacity doesn't capture nuffink. Any ideas on what I could try next? I only understand Klingon!! - djf fadereu@fadeurium:~$ chuck --probe [chuck]: found 2 device(s) ...

Gasten, it's all working fine in WindowsXP. So I gather the problem here is in the Ubuntu alsamixer or something, not the card. I copied the probe in another mail... ------- -.- 1/f ))) --. ------- ... http://www.algomantra.com

My bet is on the Linux driver, not Alsamixer which -as I understand it- is a level above that. Kas.
