Hi!
I’m trying to capture any sound from a microphone connected to an Audio Cape. Playback is flawless however arecord produces so weak sound capture that it senses only when I blow right into the mic. All bars (play & capture) are at maximum in alsamixer. Any ideas how to enable capturing of the sound in Ubuntu?
I need to bring up linphone and such problems makes it impossible.
You need an amplified microphone. This is line input audio.

You need a microphone pre-amp.
You can buy one or make your own.
Thank you!
I understood it when looked into the schematic. I think I will add a few wires to connect the audio-in jack to the mic-pins. Almost all pins at the audio chip are wired out except the micbias, but I can hold a soldering tool. The only problem is the audio driver where necessary audio path should be enabled
it required a few minutes of soldering and two resistors 1kOhm 0402. The scheme is attached
Sound quality is not the best but it is the cheapest solution to continue working on SW
