[Lenovo E330] internal mic issues
Hi,
since the very beginning I have some terrible issues with the internal mic of my thinkpad edge E330.
Regarding Alsa (aplay -l) I have a ALC269VC device, which is, however, supported by alsa, see this link.
However, I cannot record with a moderate or even high quality. The volume is pretty low and difficult to achieve. Regarding alsamixer, I can edit the following channels : MIC, MIC BOOST, CAPTURE, DIGITAL, INTERNAL MIC BOOST.
Following my intuition, I turned on the mixer of MIC and INTERNAL MIC BOOST. But it doesn't work. A mix of MIC 100, CAPTURE 42, DIGITAL 100, *BOOST 0, results in a
very low volume. Changing one of the BOOST parameter leads to a strong disturbance and electrical noise dumping the recorded volume even more.
Touching the mic with my fingers results in a rather loud noise.
I don't know how to treat this issue. I followed the Alsa article, I load the sound driver in /etc/modules-load/50-sound.conf via
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1 model=auto #ALC259Further I tried models like thinkpad, ALC259 and ALC3202 ( which are an alias for ALC269VC ).
I really like to use my laptop without any external mic.
Does someone has got a thinkpad edge as well and likes to share knowledge getting through this issue ?
Many thanks in advance!!!

Re: [Lenovo E330] internal mic issues
mine mic just stopped working after some update.
And I can edit all mics level in alsamixer.

No cause is lost if there is but one fool left to fight for it.

solution should always be, and it is, you need to spare some time on it, sorry for being philosophical
I just don't know it yet.

Try to install pavucontrol and choose microphone (external microphone) instead of internal microphone.
