I somehow didn't understand what the output said until you pointed it out. :-p I finally figured out what is going wrong. The "Internal Mic" is turned off, as you observed, when I turn it on and raise the volume, recording works. But this does not survive a reboot. So I thought maybe its the state file that is causing this. So I deleted it, fixed the settings with alsamixer, then stored the state with "alsactl store". I confirmed the state file has the correct settings, and yet it still does not survive a reboot! So I checked the state file again, and strangely it has the correct settings! So for some unknown reason the state file is being ignored. I can fix this by executing "alsactl restore". For the moment this is an acceptable workaround, but this made me think; the error I mentioned earlier in the thread, pulseaudio[1455]: module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile probably indicates to this issue. Would you agree? Does this seem worthy enough for further investigation? Your suggestions were very helpful throughout this thread. And I became a lot more familiar with alsa in the process. Thank you very much. :) Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
