18.04.1 LTS - Mic Not Working












0















Sorry to add to the wildfire, but I'm on a fresh setup of Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and my microphone isn't working.



Microphone in question: Boya BY-M1



My Sound -> Input settings look like this:



enter image description here



Note that there is activity in the orange monitor, however when I try to record in Audacity there isn't actually sound. Also the activity doesn't respond when I clap or tap the mic.



I've also fiddled a little with alsamixer. My settings for that look like:



enter image description here
