** Description changed:

  System: Asus S400CA with Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa, kernel 3.19.0-39-generic
  #44~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 2 10:00:35 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
  GNU/Linux
  
  Running Skype, sound input from microphone does not work.  When (in
  alsa-mixer OR in pavucontrol) one channel is reduced and the other is
  maximized, sound input works although not at full volume.
  
  Alsa information:
  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4fd8506e1121c53b192c73150ba74fb24075314e
+ 
+ Edit:
+ This is NOT a bug in the alsa-driver, but a problem with the settings of my system.  I changed the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf by adding the line:
+ 
+ options snd-hda-intel model=auto
+ 
+ which repaired the microphone response in alsamixer and pavucontrol.
+ Skype still did not work, but after fiddling around with the settings under "Recording" in pavucontrol I got it working.  My excuses if I wasted anyone's time.  Please accept that I use this system for only the last week and have no experience with Linux whatsoever.
