-Launching **alsamixer** and hitting F6 you can select the **USB Advanced Audio Device** sound card. Hit F4 to view the only one capture device, i.e. the microphone input line. Press **Space** to enable/disable the **capture** and **Up/Down arrows** to increase/decrease the **gain**.
-It seems that the best setting for audio recording through the mic, is to keep the **capture mic gain to 100**:

-I use the **PulseAudio** subsystem above the ALSA modules (this is the preferred method in modern GNU/Linux distro). In this case the volume is controlled via the graphics app **pavucontrol** or on the command line using the **pacmd** tool. Here are the commands to start an audio recording using a shell script:
-<code bash>
-#!/bin/sh
-SOURCE='alsa_input.usb-C-Media_Electronics_Inc._USB_Advanced_Audio_Device-00.analog-stereo'
-PORT='analog-input-mic'
-VOLUME=65536
-pacmd set-default-source "$SOURCE"
-pacmd set-source-port "$SOURCE" "$PORT"
-pacmd set-source-volume "$SOURCE" "$VOLUME"
-pacmd set-source-mute "$SOURCE" 0
-parecord --verbose --device="$SOURCE" --channels=1 --fix-rate foobar.wav

-The **microphone socket** is a **3.5 mm TRS type** (three poles), it provides a bias current of **2.6 V** on both the **tip** and the **ring**, so it is advisable, as reported in the device manual, to **NOT use a simple two poles mono jack** (TS type), because it will short-circuit the bias current on the ring with the ground on the sleeve.
