Ysgrifennodd Carlos E. R.:
I think this is what you should figure out first. Just start one of the mixer utilities and play with the settings till the microphone is heard. Unless the host system sees the microphone, the guest will not.
Yes. That sounds like a good starting place.
In fact it proved to be a very good starting place. I don't seem to be able to get the mike volume very high, but at least it's there and I managed to make a passable voice recording.
So thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I tried myself alsamixergui, and I found a surprise: instead of my card settings, I see just two settings from "card: pulseaudio". All my settings have disappeared. The gnome volume control fails with «Failed to start Volume Control: Failed to execute child process "pavucontrol" (no such file or directory)». I'm testing "gamix" now, but I can't make my microphone work. I too have a problem. Ah! got it working, but also too low. [...] Ah, I think I got it working better after fiddling with most of the settings. Well, what I was looking for was for a setting, that pushed the amplification for the mike, like "extra amplification". In gamix it is a small button in the "mic column" and the hint says "Mic boost (+20db)". The colors are so badly chosen that it is almost impossible to see if a button is active or not. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
