Hi,
When I first set up my Ubuntu machine, everything worked fine. But for the last few months (I don't remember exactly how long), my mic has refused to work. Nothing I use can pick up any signal from it. I've tried all the mixers (alsamixer, kmix, the built in GNOME mixer), and none of them show the mic as muted. Is there a way to reset ALSA's volumes and other mixer settings to defaults? I can't seem to find information about this online, and this lack of a fully working sound system has me on the end of my rope.
Hi, What kind of Mic is it? Some of mine have a small battery, and an on/off switch, which I tend to forget "on". Have you tried other mics?

I'm prepared to spend a good deal of time on this, but I don't know what I need to do. If you need more information, let me know how to get it and I'll be happy to share it.
Send output of "amixer". Also, what kind of sound chip/card? Onboard? Add-in PCI? -Jamie
