Internal microphone on HP Touchsmart not working, Ubuntu 14.04

Asked by Elecmn

I have had Ubuntu on my HP TouchSmart desktop dual booting with Windows 7 for some time but only recently upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I have never tried to use the internal microphone (in Ubuntu) but it works fine in Windows 7 when I talk on Skype. I am attempting to use the internal microphone in Skype while on Ubuntu, but nothing I have tried works. I tried changing the settings for the sound input and even turned down one channel as well as increasing the input volume to 100%. When I tried recording nothing from my voice can be heard but if I thump on the mike screen, there is a very small blip on the sound bar ( only the first mark on the bar). I followed all the steps in the troubleshooting procedure at help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure then downloaded the ALSA info (which see) but looking at the information doesn't tell me much since I don't know what the parameters should be. Please help I don't know where to go from here. Listed below is the downloaded ALSA information, and Thank you:
