(Mine always peaks. There's no way to adjust it in the OS. What is the expected behavior? There should be a mic level slider below the volume slider in the pop-up settings tray. What went wrong? With no way to control the mic levels, all my recordings with my USB mic are very low quality. Did this work before?

There is no UI in ChromeOS to adjust the input audio device. In order to do so, we need to design the UI and implement it as a new feature.

Presently, the alsamixer is available in Developer Mode's bash shell, and can be used to change the gain on input devices.

Also noteworthy that the alsamixer input gain has been randomly changing (decreasing) from the initially set value to 2db gain. It will drop down to -35db gain which seems to be the "default" for some reason. Would expect a default of at least 0 gain.

It's worth noting that since many Chrome devices are managed in an organization, developer mode is not permitted and therefore alsamixer is not an option (as is the case with our org).

I've also noticed that the input volume will change wildly and automatically. I have had the alsamixer open, volume set to 95%, and without input from me, will drop down to 5%. This typically will happen when I open a new tab with meet.google.com. If desired, I can try and get a video of this happening. |
