It is closer to the metal. :-) First run amixer | less to see the current setting. Then look in man amixer to set the value. Should be something like amixer sset "Capture device" "front mic".

It could be that the gnome setter is failing quietly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
