Logitech Microphone (AK5370) inaudible volume
- by Iain Lane
I bought this microphone from Amazon last week. It's detected just fine in 12.10. I can see it in the sound preferences. The problem is that the volume is so low as to be inaudible, even when turned up to maximum in this dialog. It is working, as I can see that the meter responds to noise, but it's just too low.
alsamixer's control is the same, so that doesn't help. I tried messing around in pulseaudio too, but to no avail.
