Look at things like 'Mic Input Source' and try to find what it is, E.G.
Mic.
I also think I saw 'Capture Source'
One needs to play around once the control that does the recording is
found.
I mean, Capture can set recording volume, but 'Front Mic' could be set to
playback which causes a problem in a case where 'Front Mic' is the Input
Source.
Hope this make some sense.
