Audio (microphone) input not working MB ASUS A7V333

Asked by Robert Campbell

I have two systems with ASUS A7V33 motherboards and neither can detect input from the on-board audio's microphone jack (pink jack). Audio out seems to work.

Any idea on how to fix this with out adding a sound card and will that fix the problem.

After re-reading the info on the screen in terminal I wonder if you want me to run the script 'alsa-info.sh'?

If so what command line options do I use as the script seems to continue to loop continuously!
does it generate an out file or just cut & paste the terminal screen?
