internal microphone doesn't work in aspire 5253 with ubuntu 13.10

Asked by Andres Diaz

I upgrade my acer aspire 5253 to ubuntu 13.10 and the internal microphone is not working, I cannot make video callings in skype or Hangout (google talk) because other people won't hear me, and when somebody connects or disconnects instead of the alert notification I get an endless horrible sound until I logged out, it seems like there is a problem with the driver... those programs worked well on ubuntu 13.04. My laptop has an AMD dual-core c50 and 6 GB memory. thanks for your help.

If you run:

alsamixer

Are all levels maxed and unmuted?

I took a screenshot of the alsamixer it looks empty in the microphone level but I cannot change it

Giving links from your own PC like that will only work for users sat at your PC. It doesnt work on the web. You need to use a service like imageshack to make a URL of the file

Glad you got the gold.
