*I have posted this a while back but never got any responses, hopefully
this time...


**I have a motherboard the ASUS M5a78L-M LX -by Asus the built-in sound
card it is a *Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)...


*Now I am having a problem in trying to get the mic working, the sound
is ok...
For some reason I no-longer can bring up the GUI ALSAMIXER showing the
bar levels, maybe it is because it is using pulseaudio I really do not
know...


Does anyone know of another GUI that one can use to see or check if the
mic is muted or to see the graph when speaking into the mic...???


Might anyone using Ubuntu's Lucid have the fix for this...???

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks Larry

Hi Larry,


Have you tried running alsamixer from the terminal?

Check with pavucontrol as well as other tools. If you're using, it's a
must to have but as far as I know, not installed by default.

Hi Larry,

Have you tried running alsamixer from the terminal?

*Yes I have but for some reason, it does not bring up the GUI showing
the levels of the mic, speakers etc...All I get is a command prompt saying*
cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument...*I have allways used
alsamixer but now it does not come up in the gui fashion as it has done
before...?


Thanks for the reply...

Larry

Yup, if you didn't get a reply on the first try, you can try to repost it
after some days, someone might have missed the earlier post or was too
busy. An earlier post from you mentioned the error message when trying to
start alsamixer, these error messages are great for a google search.

Googling -> "load mixer controls: Invalid argument" ubuntu lucid <- found
among others these bugs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/613248 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/703464 .

Googling just -> "load mixer controls: Invalid argument" <- shows a lot
of posts with "cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument" as response
to trying to start ALSAMIXER.

Different solutions are posted, and some even work

Good luck!

-Frans

I also have tried using pavucontrol but it too has not helped me
in anyway...

So I am at a loss as to what would be the next thing to do, or
check...



Thanks for the reply - - Larry
