I still have no analog input via microphone. I tried switching alternatives on alsamixer, but nothing happens.

Please use alsamixer to UNMUTE and INCREASE volume to 100% on the following mixer channels:
Simple mixer control 'Aux',0
Simple mixer control 'Analog Center/LFE',0
Simple mixer control 'Analog Rear',0
Simple mixer control 'Analog Side',0
Switch Analog Source from "Line in" to "Mic"
Then retest sound output and input.
If possible, try connecting the microphone to the input jacks at the front (if they exist) and at the back of the PC and retest.

Hi Rick.
I followed your suggestions. Alsamixer controls were allready enabled, but I increased the values to 100%. Analog source was also put to Mic. I only use the jacks on the back, both for input and output. Analog output (the only tested) is sound, but the mic input is absolutely weak, as an boost option would be required. The abd, I don't have a boost options via alsamixer. I increased the input level on the sound configuration to the maximum level, nothing improved. I tested the sound on skype, as said the output level is fine, but I can barely hear my voice while reproducing the test. Any idea how to enhance the mic input?

Could it be possible, that as an annoying side effect my DVD-player is now not recognized? Each time I push to open it, it keeps closing. I could insert a blank and a burned DVD, none of which are recognized.
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask Uwe Koch for more information if necessary.
