I recently installed OpenSUSE and I’m having trouble getting my microphone to work… When i was on Ubuntu I could add and 20 decibels boost to my microphone. I can’t seem to find this feature in OpenSUSE… I would think it’s a driver problem so If I can’t get the boost to work the driver could be probably fixed…
According to my Pulse audio controller my mic is a “ALSA PCM on front:0 (Intel ICH5) via DMA”
I actually have a Logitec headset (Not USB)…
Also I use GNOME…
It should be somewhere in the mixer. I used kmix so I can’t say about GNOME’s mixer, but in kmix you sometimes have to add a control from a separate tab before it can be used, because the input tab starts off with only a few controls.
On the gnome mixer there’s not even a menu where you can select properties and then add stuff…
Maybe your sound configuration is not setup optimally? Can you provide more information on your configuration? Please, with your PC connected to the internet copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal / konsole:
wget http://home.cfl.rr.com/infofiles/tsalsa && su -c 'bash ./tsalsa'
when prompted for a password please enter your root password. Please try to accurately answer the question on the number of plugs/jacks on your PC (for example my PC has 3 i/o plugs/jacks). When the script completes it will pass you a URL. Please post that URL here.
Also, please copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal/konsole and post the output here.
rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
I finally got it… I went to sound configuration (menu>configuration>sound) a and I changed the input device to Intel ICH5 - ADC2… Then I went to my volume control and It changed for the one I had on ubuntu so I found the boost and there we go It works fine…
Congratulations on solving this. Thanks for sharing your solution.
