Hi Alsa-users I am using a Lenovo X201s under Debian and wonder why I can't seem to amplify the (minijack) microphone input to be usable with external microphones. Alsamixer gives me the following controls for "capture": Capture Analog Mic Boost Digital The "Analog Mic Boost" does work with the internal mic, and it also amplifies the external mic input (or mainly its noise floor), but the external mic level is still too low. The external microphone itself is tested and works very well on other computers. It doesn't sound like / seem to be a faulty connector. So I am wondering if there is any software control that is not displayed for the external mic input in alsamixer, but that would help me getting a clean signal at decent levels. The chip indicated is "Intel IbexPeak HDMI". Anyone having similar experiences with that type of hardware? Thank you all so much! best, Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software. Cisco certified tool.
