  • Could you tell me what the Audio Host setting is set too. It's dropdown is located far left just above the time code bar.

  • @MichaelProkopec "ALSA", I don't have any other option. A field to the right from this is a mic combo box and I tried every option, none was working (either no sound or sound from other [builtin] microphone).

  • Could you tell me what the Audio Host setting is set too. It's dropdown is located far left just above the time code bar.

  • @MichaelProkopec "ALSA", I don't have any other option. A field to the right from this is a mic combo box and I tried every option, none was working (either no sound or sound from other [builtin] microphone).

  • Can you show the output of amixer?

  • @MichaelProkopec I have added a screenshot from alsamixer to the post. Edit: Oh, amixer, not alsamixer, added that as well.

The mic is visible in "PulseAudio volume control". It is not muted and volume is at 100%. I can see it picks sounds. It is also visible in arecord:

The mic is not available for selection in Audacity (I tried all options, launched Audacity after mic was connected). It works oob in Windows 10 in Audacity.



I am using Audacity 2.1.2, PulseAudio 8 (Kubuntu 16.04).

The mic is visible in "PulseAudio volume control". It is not muted and volume is at 100%. I can see it picks sounds. It is also visible in arecord:

The mic is not available for selection in Audacity (I tried all options, launched Audacity after mic was connected). It works oob in Windows 10 in Audacity.



I am using Audacity 2.1.2, PulseAudio 8 (Kubuntu 16.04).

One of the following Input sources should be set to Front Mic:



Simple mixer control 'Input Source',0
Capabilities: cenum
Items: 'Front Mic' 'Rear Mic' 'Line'
Item0: 'Line'
Simple mixer control 'Input Source',1
Capabilities: cenum
Items: 'Front Mic' 'Rear Mic' 'Line'
Item0: 'Line'


Something like the following tailored to fit your needs: Here



e.g. amixer cset name='Input Source',index=0 'Front Mic'



That should do it for you.
