<title>Use a different microphone</title>
<p>You can use an external microphone for chatting with friends, speaking
with colleagues at work, making voice recordings, or using other multimedia
applications. Even if your computer has a built-in microphone or a webcam
with a microphone, a separate microphone usually provides better audio
quality.</p>
<p>If your microphone has a circular plug, just plug it into the appropriate
adapter on your computer. Most computers have two adapters: one for
microphones and one for speakers. Look for a picture of a microphone next to
the adapter. Microphones plugged into the appropriate adapter will usually
be used by default. If not, see the instructions below for selecting a
default input device.</p>
<p>If you have a USB microphone, plug it into any USB port on your
computer. USB microphones act as separate audio devices, and you may
have to specify which microphone to use by default.</p>
<steps>
<title>Select a default audio input device</title>
<item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
<item><p>Open <gui>Sound</gui> and select the <gui>Input</gui> tab.</p></item>
<item><p>Select the device in the list of devices.
The input level indicator should respond when you speak.</p></item>
</steps>
<p>If you don't see your device on the <gui>Input</gui> tab, check the
<gui>Hardware</gui> tab. Make sure the profile for the device includes
"input."</p>
