Good point. The laptop has two separate ports one for headphone and the other shows the "Mic" symbol. I take it means a microphone as opposed to "line-in" > you had any mic luck under Linux with this laptop? Yes, as mentioned in my OP I have booted Linux Mint 12 KDE RC (IIRC it is KDE 4.7.x) on this laptop and I am able to use the "Mic" when I insert the my mic into the very same port that I am trying to use in Debian Testing but no joy in Debian. (The same problem exists in openSUSE 12.1 as well - mic does not work) > You might have a look in > alsamixer or alsamixergui for line-in settings as well and you might test > it, by plugging in an external mic, or if it's switched, you might just plug > any cable in - a headphone should do - and then unplug it.

I'll experiment as you have suggested but what stumps me is that it works in Linux Mint 12 KDE RC :( -- Arun Khan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
