My microphone doesn't work.

Hello,
I tried to record myself with Audacity, but it didn't work.
I tried doing what was said to do here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … PulseAudio , but nothing.

By the way, running:

alsamixer -c 0

and un-muting the "Internal-mic" and raising the audio allows me to hear my microphone (also running xfce4-mixer and doing the same thing does the same thing)

Here are some commands that I saw others ask to be used on other threads and there outputs:

$ pacmd list-sources

2 source(s) available.

**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC269 Analog [ALC269 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

running:

pavucontrol`

in the "Input Devices" are: "Build-in Audio" and "Monitor of Dummy Output".

I hope I can fix this because I need to fix this

----------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE:

I fixed it by running:

alsamixer

then pressing F4, and enabling "Capture" with the space key.
