Getting the front-mic to work

Weird problem. By default the front-mic does not work on my laptop. In order to get it to work, there is some magic that needs to be done with the ALSA Mixer.

1. Open Alsa mixer, select Input source as "Front Mic". Close Alsa mixer
2. Now open Alsa mixer again and now select the Input source as "Mic". Close Alsa mixer.
3. The front mic starts working again! (Need to find the real fucking reason behind this)
