[Bug 1205090] Re: 046d:c525 USB microphone quits working after a few seconds

 

keepitsimpleengr, as per http://www.foxconnsupport.com/download.aspx?models=en-us0000504&category=C000000001&brand=en-us0000002&Series=en-us0000012&chipset=en-us0000160&keywords=&sort= an update is available for your BIOS (A34F1P04). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  046d:c525 USB microphone quits working after a few seconds

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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".
