[pulseaudio-discuss] Microphone input filter

[Toby Collett]

Unfortunately with all the playing I have done in the past with mixer levels
(several hours at different times) I have been unable to get an acceptable
quality. Hence I have been considering the brute force filter approach.

P.S. my main laptop is a toshiba dynabook RX1/T7E (portege r500), but I am
having similar issues with an asus eee 901a, has anyone had specific
experience with those models?
