Built in microphone not working. Can't select the 'Input Source'.
I can't get the built in mic on my laptop to work, i tried any suggestion i could find on internet but i'm still stuck. I haven't used it before with windows or any other distribution so i can't tel if it's a new/old problem. I think the problem is that i don't have an option to select the 'Input Source' e.g. Mic or Front Mic as i saw in other's amixer controls/contents outputs.
Mine looks like this:
