Microphone static after upgrading from 12.10

[Guest]

Hello

Yesterday I upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04 and first everything seemed to be peachy till I tried using Mumble.

It appears that no matter what I try on KDE Mixer or alsamixer, all I can hear from my front and rear microphones are loud noises.
The input device does not capture any actual speech or touch to the mic, but the mic produces horrible static and random sounds.

The microphone worked just fine on 12.10. I have no clue what could be causing this.

Any suggestions?

Well don't I feel stupid. Removing and re-inserting the microphone to my headset itself corrected the issue. I have no idea how such a contact problem occured somewhere during the upgrade process. Doh. Please ignore this thread.
