How to enable my microphone in Linux Mint?












0















I have changed every setting of Pavucontrol and Alsamixer with no results on how to make my microphone work again. When using other live OS, it works just fine but on my Linux Mint it does not work anymore.

          I think this should be a comment, but since my reputation does not allow me to comment here it goes as an answer...



          Have you checked your microphone is not silenced? I installed Linux Mint recently and came across the same problem. The microphone was silenced by default.



          EDIT: Go to the bottom right part of your desktop, click on the sound icon, and then "Sound Settings". Once there, look for "Input" on the top tab. On "Device" you will see the name of the microphone and below that a bar to change the volume.
