The "start a new thread" request always kills the discussion. Let's see

I don't think it's fixable. This on-board card shows up in lspci as
"Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF100 High Definition Audio
Controller" and is recognised fine by alsa. Sound output of that card
works, and I can turn up the mixer settings for the microphone all I
want and there is no input whatsoever from the mic. I have another card
installed and the same mic works with the additional card, so the
problem is not the mic. It used to work before I did something with
audacious which gave me a warning that it might not be a good idea --- I
don't remember what that was. Since then, the mic input of the card is
dead and I don't use audacious anymore. Any ideas how to fix this?

Sure it is. You even say it used to work. So unless that part of the
chip physically failed, it can be fixed.

Can you post the sound card info from "lspci -v" (PCI ID, etc) ? And
please post the contents (if an) of /etc/asound.conf and ~/.asoundrc.
I believe you said you are not using PA, are you also not using
any other sound server, like Jack or the ancient aRts or ESD?
Cheers,

If audacious said it wasn't a good idea, could it be because it was
possible it would kill the mic i/p of the card?
It might be possible to find someone that can fault find the card and
repair it, but it's probably cheaper to simply replace the card.

Sounds like it is the Nvidia onboard HDA chip, not a card...
I have my doubts that it is that easy to actually fry the mic input...

Probably; I've not been following the thread too closely.

So do I but, if it was flaky to begin with, you never know.....
If it does prove to be a h/w fault, it's probably still cheaper to get a
new mobo. :-(

The USB stuff is loaded because there's a webcam connected that has a
built-in mic (which I don't use).

The default card is a Terratec Aureon, that's where the CMI.* stuff

That's why I don't run audacious anymore. I don't like software that may
take out the hardware just like that. When you could still damage
monitors with the frequencies set too high, you at least knew what might
happen, and they didn't break immediately

It's the on-board card, so I would have to replace the whole
mainboard. These on-board "cards" suck anyway ...
