I've had the same problem it's been driving me crazy. Here's what worked for me edit the alsa options If I run SCREEN SHOT REMOVED add the following line at the end Another post said restart alsa with sudo alsa force-reload. This does not work. Restart the laptop completely. After restarting run SCREEN SHOT REMOVED Notice that Mic B is selected for capture. Change that to Mic F SCREEN SHOT REMOVED That's it now the regular sound control should show mic input. |

I've opened a terminal and type alsamixer. This will open the alsamixer in the terminal. Hit the 'F4'-key it showed me the 'capture' device settings. Then the 4th item displayed as Mic, I changed this to 'Internal Mic' (click array down/up key to change). Once done, I checked in 'system-settings' --> sound --> hardware and I saw the missing lights appearing. Did a test with 'sound record' and this was working. Hope this helps |

Be sure that your audio profile is set to "Analog stereo duplex" in the System settings -> Sound configurations. This solved for me, because it was configured for "analog stereo output" only. You might want to change your audio profile only when you're going to use an HDMI output, for example. |
