A Man and his Penguin

A couple of hours ago, I couldn’t get any audio from my microphone into the computer.

This was serious stuff. I fiddled around with alsamixer, tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base, fiddled around some more, and then finally as I resigned myself to trying to upgrade to the latest kernel… I used arecord and it worked. Going into Skype and using the call test service also worked. It’s all working again now, thank god.

Maybe Feisty is a little too feisty to be put onto Dells, but I’m just happy that it’s working again now.
