Niki: I don't see anything for the microphone there!
Note: When alsamixer came up in the terminal window, the only view option seems to be for
Playback, which is shown above. Should it be possible for me to get a view of Capture too?
How?

I use their test robot to test, but when I try it with Skype for Linux, when they
are going to playback what I speak into the microphone, there's one beep and then
almost immediately, a 2nd beep. When I do that while using Skype for windows, I can hear
what I speak into the microphone.
I get the Digest version of the ML but I will check back, online, for further ideas today!
Thank you for your very quick reply! Lanny
