Ubuntu: Best way to set microphone volume by command line
I have tried:
aumix -i 100
However that only seems to get me to about 3/4 of the maximum volume when I look at the change in the Sound Preferences panel.
Here is a screenshot of Sound Preferences panel with unexpected microphone volume:
I am using Xubuntu 9.10.
Solution 1:
Try:
amixer set Capture 5%+
amixer set Capture 5%-
to increase or decrease the mic volume.
Solution 2:
You could try alsamixer. It's a simple CLI mixer for Alsa.
