Most likely during one of the recent runs of pacman -Syu, something changed causing the external mic to record some quiet static regardless of actual input. If unplugged, the built-in mic kicks in and records fine.
What can you guys recommend as steps for troubleshooting this? The mic works if I boot into Windows. Also tried running alsamixer and setting all volumes in Capture to max.
This is on a HP dv7t-6100 Quad laptop.
Thanks,
