I have a ASUS B760-I ITX mainboard and according to alsa-info it seems the onboard audio chip is a Realtek ALC1220. However, if I record my voice, it really sounds akward, extremely loud and not normal. Very different from the normal behaviour I had in Windows 11.
Does anyone how what Linux driver I need for that?
If you open up alsa-mixer, and hit f6, what options come up? As far as I'm aware this is a fairly standard soundcard. I'm more wondering if the issue is that alsa has accidentally screwed some settings up somehow.
You might just have to adjust the microphone recording volume in Settings > Audio.
Looking at your alsamixer screenshot:
You have Rear Mic [MM] i.e. muted, but its Boost set 100%.
Unmute that, by panning across to that channel and hit "M" key.
I would reduce Boost to 0% once you have done that, at least as a start.]
You have Front Mic [MM] i.e. muted.
Unmute that, by panning across to that channel and hit "M" key.
See if any of those changes help.
You may have to play a few permutations and combinations one at a time.
If you find an alsamixer setting that works, save it using:
sudo alsactl store
That resolved the problem, thanks!
