[SOLVED] Microphone doesn't work on my IBM T60

Hi all.

The integrated microphone of my IBM T60 doesn't work. If I open KMix I can see volume bar of microphone and if I raise up it I hear a boo, so I think that Arch Linux recognize it. How can I solve it?

I don't know what to do at this point. How can I enable mic? Is it enabled yet?

Re: [SOLVED] Microphone doesn't work on my IBM T60

you have to press space after you selected it
if it is muted try pressing m as well

Re: [SOLVED] Microphone doesn't work on my IBM T60

When I give the command sudo pacman -R pulse and the command sudo pacman -R pulseaudio it says errore: 'pulse': target not found and errore: 'pulseaudio': target not found. So I think that it is not installed.

Re: [SOLVED] Microphone doesn't work on my IBM T60

that's right, it's not installed
when i get home i will check my config and see what is different ok?
if it is integrated, are you absolutely sure it's functioning?

Re: [SOLVED] Microphone doesn't work on my IBM T60

Nothing. Anyway you have "Internal Mic" column and I don't sad Maybe this is the problem.

NB: I'm using Skype to check the Mic and I see this in in the select box.

Re: [SOLVED] Microphone doesn't work on my IBM T60
