Built in microphone OK in Windows, but noisy in Ubuntu & not detected in Citrix Remote Desktop app

Question

My built in internal mic on laptop Lenovo Ideapad 320 works fine while using Windows. But when I try to use it in Ubuntu, its performance is somewhat between Properly working and Not working. The microphone records my voice but when I hear my recordings, more that half of the sound is consists of noise which almost makes my voice unclear.

When I use my earphones mic instead of the internal mic, it works totally fine.

When I use a Citrix remote desktop app, it does not detect any mic, while Windows does this fine again.

Lenovo Ideapad 320-15IKB (80XL)
Ubuntu Version: 18.04

Answer 1

The Citrix application is not very user friendly on Linux systems. I had the same problem with the Citrix app. Try adding the following line to ~/.ICAClient/wfclient.ini:

[WFClient]
AllowAudioInput=True
