The purpose is to figure out what exactly makes the microphone work. It seems unlikely that a profile switch is really required. So, in summary: after rebooting, don't open pavucontrol or other audio programs, just record a bit of audio with parecord a few times. Before each recording, check that the source is suspended with the pactl command I gave earlier. If all of the recordings are bad, then switch the profile with pactl (still don't open pavucontrol) and try again. If that fixes the audio, then that suggests that a profile switch is indeed required (though I don't understand why that would be the case). Also try the other thing I suggested: after a reboot, wait for a while without doing anything and then try recording. Maybe the hardware just takes some time to initialize itself properly. (Note that in the end you're most likely going to file a bug for kernel/alsa, since this doesn't sound like anything that PulseAudio would be causing.)</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
