[OpenIndiana-discuss] Microphone and pulseaudio

[Tony Brian Albers]

I'm having issues getting an analogue (using a 3,5mm jack connector) 
microphone to work properly.

It shows up in the mate-volume-control window, but even when it's at 
100% volume, there's no sound level indication. The mic works, because 
when I test it with
$ cat </dev/audio >>/tmp/foo.au
$ cat /tmp/foo.au >>/dev/audio

I can hear the words I say, but it's awfully low and the noise level is 
normal. The words are only just audible.

Is there a way that I can use something like mic boost? I've been 
rummaging around in pulseaudio(pacmd etc.) all day now, but I can't find 
anything that's not set to a 100% volume with regards to the microphone.

Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

/tony
