[linux-audio-user] Microphone not working

[Patrick Shirkey]

Unless you are using a preamp for your mic you will not have any gain so 
the only way you can get sound in is to shout very loudly into it while 
it is touching your mouth.

Even then the mic will only pick up a very quiet noise.

========================================

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
