[Bug 38831] Microphone doesn't work since Dapper

[Luna-Tick]

Public bug reported:

Affects: ekiga (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
I realise that this is probably not ekiga's fault, but I wanted to get
it into the tracker so that people could help me solve the problem.
Using fully updated Dapper Flight 6.

When I am running ekiga with my headset, the microphone doesn't work.
The headphones work fine and the microphone worked perfectly in Breezy
with ekiga. The reason I don't think that it is ekiga's fault is that
gnome-sound-recorder also records nothing from the microphone (though I
am sure it has at some stage).

I have checked that the sound works in Windows on the same machine (dual
boot) so the hardware is fine. Unmuting the sound from the microphone in
Ubuntu lets me hear myself talking through the headphones (although
doesn't mean that ekiga or sound-recorder work).

I have tried changing the devices from 'default' to the name of the
sound card but it makes no difference.

Does anyone have some diagnostics that I can run to help solve this? Any
idea which upstream package to bug about it?
