Microphone not working on ubuntu (tested on 12.04)

If on UBUNTU microphone is not working for skype or for gtalk: follow these simple steps:


1. Open terminal
2. Hit the following command, you may need sudo
        gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-
base.conf
3. Add following lines at the end of the open file:
        alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
        options snd-hda-intel model=auto
4. Hit the following command on terminal, which will open Alsamixer levels:
        alsamixer
5. Press f4 to see 'capture' Alsamixer levels
6. Maximize all levels
7. Use following command to save it:
        sudo alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state store
8. Restart.

Use recorder to see the device is working or not, :)

Thanks a lot. I just got my hands on a nice second-hand HP workstation and decided to use it for software development. Since I also like to do some screencasting of what I'm doing a microphone was a necessity. Thanks to you I was able to solve the problem of my mic being detected but not letting my beautiful voice through. :D
