My jessie installation was a standard one with very few contrib and non free packets. Following your idea about alsa, I installed alsa-firmware. It fixed one point (both the jack microphone and the built-in one are working now) but not the weird thing between alsa mic boost bar and pavucontrol volume level.<br><br><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>De: </b>jbernon@free.fr<br><b>À: </b>"Felipe Sateler" <fsateler@debian.org><br><b>Cc: </b>766781@bugs.debian.org<br><b>Envoyé: </b>Mardi 4 Novembre 2014 08:47:31<br><b>Objet: </b>Re: Bug#766781: pavucontrol: Input volume cannot be more than 39%<br><br><style>p { margin: 0; }</style><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000">Hello,<br>There are two bars in alsamixer capture display : mic boost and capture. Capture bar level is 100. When Mic boost bar level is 0, the microphone is working. As soon as this level is >0, the microphone doesn't work anymore, I wrote it quickly in the first bug description. When using pavucontrol level, the alsamixer mic boost bar remains 0 while I increase from 0 to 39%. Mic boost bar goes up to 20 when I increase pavucontrol from 39% to 40% and the microphone becomes mute.<br>I hope to be clear.<br>Best regards<br><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>De: </b>"Felipe Sateler" <fsateler@debian.org><br><b>À: </b>"Jean Bernon" <jbernon@free.fr><br><b>Cc: </b>766781@bugs.debian.org<br><b>Envoyé: </b>Lundi 3 Novembre 2014 23:46:58<br><b>Objet: </b>Re: Bug#766781: pavucontrol: Input volume cannot be more than 39%<br><br>On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 7:32 PM, <jbernon@free.fr> wrote:<br>> Here are the files.
