Bug#833326: pulseaudio: Lenovo Ideapad 300 - volume of the internal microphone is very low

[Florent Mazzone]

Hello Felipe,
Thanks for your answer. I'm currently  using pavucontrol, as soon as I disable one channel from the microphone (for example the left chanel level is 0%), the microphone will work normally. I've found on the Ubuntu an issue that looks similar to the one I've noticed with this laptop ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1002978 ). Maybe the problem is specific to this type of microphone ?

Best Regards,
Florent Mazzone

What happens if you use pavucontrol to control the microphone volume?
Could you attach the output of `pactl list sources` both when the
volume is low and after the volume is up? Also, a verbose log[1] of
the problem occurring may be useful.
