Pavucontrol does NOT activate microphone

Asked by joshyg6

I open the pavucontrol program. I go to input devices. I adjust the input levels of the desired mic. But I don't see any blue line movement with audio sound stimulus. However, I go to a program like skype or google chat, and test a call, and as soon as those programs activate the microphone, the blue line starts responding to stimulus fine. Pavucontrol seems NOT to activate the microphone, so you can't see if your settings adjustments have worked!

Mic does NOT work in sound recorder. Source does not present microphone as an option - only capture (internal board; not a mic).

Ok what is the output of:

wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh

Thanks
