[Bug 1205090] [NEW] USB microphone quits working after a few seconds
Public bug reported:
On my Mythbuntu 12.04.2 HTPC, my USB microphone (Logitech AK5370) works
for a few seconds, then stops producing signal from audio input. The
system recognizes it there, it just stays mute. This happens on all USB
ports. It has worked fine for months.
I`m confident it's not the hardware because the microphone works fine
with Win7 and also on other computers.

Re-install of Mythbuntu is impracticable.
--------------
I tried the fix in [this question][1] (changing gstreamer settings) but it didn't work.
After every change, the mic would work as seen on Pulse Audio Volume
Control for a few seconds, then the "level" on the level caught at the
few seconds when it stopped working.
----------------
I installed Audacity to monitor the microphone's input level.
With the settings ALSA > default > AK5370:USB Audio (hw:1,0): Line 0 the
level meter shows the mic working.
-----------------
Using a "trick" from the old days, I re-installed the following...
gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio (version 0.10.31-1ubuntu1.2) will be re-installed
libcanberra-pulse (version 0.28-3ubuntu3) will be re-installed
libpulse-mainloop-glib0 (version 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.3) will be re-installed
libpulse-mainloop-glib0:i386 (version 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.3) will be re-installed
libpulse0 (version 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.3) will be re-installed
libpulse0:i386 (version 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.3) will be re-installed
libpulsedsp (version 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.3) will be re-installed
libpulsedsp:i386 (version 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.3) will be re-installed
libusb-0.1-4 (version 2:0.1.12-20) will be re-installed
libusb-0.1-4:i386 (version 2:0.1.12-20) will be re-installed
libusb-1.0-0 (version 2:1.0.9~rc3-2ubuntu1) will be re-installed
paman (version 0.9.4-1ubuntu3) will be re-installed
paprefs (version 0.9.10-0ubuntu1) will be re-installed
pavucontrol (version 0.99.2-1build1) will be re-installed
pavumeter (version 0.9.3-1ubuntu2) will be re-installed
pulseaudio (version 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.3) will be re-installed
pulseaudio-module-gconf (version 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.3) will be re-installed
pulseaudio-module-x11 (version 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.3) will be re-installed
pulseaudio-module-zeroconf (version 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.3) will be re-installed
pulseaudio-utils (version 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.3) will be re-installed
usbutils (version 1:005-1) will be re-installed
...and rebooted.
No help.
--------------
I have discovered that after closing and reopening Pulse Audio Volume Control, the microphone volume level will show the microphone working fo a few seconds, then "freezing".
