Hello i am new to Zorin OS18 pro...i used to work with this terrible Windows...i really like the Zorin os 18 pro....only 1 problem.!
The build in Microphone is not working...please a little help..thnx Gerard
Hi Gerardo and welcome to the forum.
Are other sound sources e.g. speakers, headphone working OK and only the internal microphone is not working?
Can you look at alsamixer.
Open a terminal session by typing Ctrl+Alt+T , then type:
alsamixer
In alsamixer, hit F6 to list/select soundcards.
Select a analogue soundcard.
If that is not seen easily from the F6 list, post a screenshot.
In alsamixer, hit F5 to display ALL sound channels.
Look for any Mic channels showing as [MM] , which means muted.
Use < > arrow keys to move to the muted channel and hit M to unmute. Then up arrow to increase mic volume.
Welcome to the Forum!
You could try the Tool Pulse Audio Volume Control which is for set up Audio Input and Output. You can install it with sudo apt install pavucontrol and after Installation, take a Look at the Input Tab and the configuration Tab for Your Mic.
i have tried the possible solutions ,unfortunately without succes...but thanks for the help
Could You post the Output of sudo lshw -C multimedia and lsusb please?
Thanks. And I have to apologize because I have made a Formatition Mistake which I corrected above. The Command have to be sudo lshw -C multimedia
is there no solution??
If you purchased Zorin OS Pro, you can also request support for the installation process for your microphone directly from the team.
Can you try:
rm -rf ~/.local/state/wireplumber
Reboot, then run to install audio controller
sudo apt install pavucontrol
Launch pavucontrol
pavucontrol
Check the Input tab for microphone and see if it is detected at all?
