Thanks Dominique. I finally found the alsamixer and I turned all inputs as well as boost off. But there was no effect, the recorded sound was still very noise. I am not sure it is linux alsa issue or not. I found some posts about microphone noise, but no one gave the answer of how to resolve it. Is it no solution to fix linux microphone noise? Thank you.
