If you are like me - using Ubuntu operating system and having trouble with new Logitech USB microphone (for instance: AK5370). It shows up in lsusb, and Skype can even see it, but you can’t make a call with it. Same with mhwaveedit. And yes, even if you set the volume to max in KMix.

The solution is to use audacity, make sure you have selected the correct recording device (in this case AK5370) and it is very important to make sure the recording channels is set to 1 (mono), as seen from the /var/log/message output when plugging the microphone in, it does not support stereo (2 channel) recording.

After that, simply make sure your microphone is not muted, and audio recording from it is toggled to ‘on’ - then audacity will record from the microphone with very good quality. I am impressed, though limited to 1 channel might affect you tremendously. I use the microphone for podcasting and basic voice operations so 2 channel recording is not a necessity for me.
