Microphone not working - Ubuntu Studio 11.04 (Asus Xonar DG)

Hi , i'd advice you to start trouble shooting the issue :

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

Thanks Sary, but I've already been through that, no success. It seems Xonar DG doesnt get anything at all from my mic or any other input. I have tried with pavucontrol and alsamixer, all the variations, but still no go. Currently I'm somewhere in the middle of this:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure

Still no luck. Only thing I acomplished is I can record sound with my onboard audio, but no sound is heard during recording when output is onboard, nor when through Xonar DG. So:

1) Onboard can record audio.
2) Xonar DG can't detect any kind of input.
3) Both onboard and Xonar DG have normal output except sounds from microphone - nothing is heard, but I can see the bars respond to mi voice in pavucontrol when input is onboard.
4) When I use eg. Sound Recorder, it will record from mic through onboard input, and play the sound after recording, but not during the recording.

Is this weird or what??

Here is my output after enabling onboard audio (the previous output was made with it being disabled in BIOS):

Please run alsamixer in a Terminal session and unmute and increase volume to 100% on the following channels:

Card hw:0 'DG'/'C-Media Oxygen HD Audio at 0xac00, irq 18'

Simple mixer control 'Line',0
Simple mixer control 'Mic',0
Simple mixer control 'Aux',0

Then connect your microphone to the rear microphone jack at the back of your PC (instead of using the front mic jack)

Then retest your microphone.

Hello Nikola , its good that you've noted down the steps in progress ..
i have lack of knowledge when it comes to sound issues as i hae never
face any

it's probable better if you gather extra info so that other might spot
something ..

so , execute step 2, then send the full terminal output from step 3
and step 4 from this procedure:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure>

also specify the exact model and make of your PC (if known).

at he mean time , i'd advice you to join the IRC support channel in
freenode someone might spot your issue right away .

so from your favourite IRC client /connect to chat.freenode.net .. then
/join #ubuntu

or from the web interface *

@Sary: I have already given a few suggestions, but no feedback yet from Nikola....

Hello Mark , that's kind of you ..

  i hope Nikola find his way through .

I myself facing an issue with X , which is a real headache .. but that's
my issue to deal with!

I found the wiki / documents are very helpful and even useful to point
to newcomers .

Hey!

Sorry guys! All of your answers went to my Yahoo spam folder (wasn't checking regularly)!

Thanks for all of your suggestions, Ill try to do all the stuff you wrote. I've been really, I mean REALLY busy at work/home, haven't managed to think about my PC (yes, I know, I am a bad person :)).

Sorry for not-chencking untill now.

Nikola
