Dear Jarno, thank you for looking into this! Unfortunately, I still have the same problem. For some reason I think that the microphone jack is recognised as an output instead of an input. I've tried installing hda-jack-retask but this one doesn't work with my sound card.
Indeed, on the page you've sent me, at step 2, it says: 2. alsamixer will open in the terminal. Use your arrow keys to move over to "Digit-IO". Press the "M" key and you should hear sound from your mic. Now arrow left to "Mic" and hold the down arrow key until the levels go to 0. When I press the M key I hear nothing. My current OS (System details) is: ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 64 bit uname -a Linux sloane 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 25 07:26:14 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux No longer remember how to produce the full system info dump that I had submitted - would be more than glad to resubmit the info if I remembered the command... All the best and thanks again for the effort!
