fwiw, my laptop has an 82801(FB (ICH6) chipset, and I suffer the same 
problem with 2.6.20 - no mic despite using every trick I know of.

However, it all works just fine with a lower kernel version. I might be 
wrong but I think 2.6.19 worked fine, either that or 2.6.18.

What results do you get by using a lower kernel version, or by using out 
of tree alsa modules?

Good news! I mean, there are somebody there with a similar problem :)


So, I got this new machine just some weeks ago, so, I started with the
latest kernel+alsa.

I will try 2.6.19-x this evening to see, what is the situation.

By the way, one annoying thing is: there is no master volume.

The other one, even I can hear my voice, I cannot record it with skype.
And I failed with arecord too:
it gives me a blank (only header) file.

I have no idea yet.

 I googled for a day, but there is no solution to my problem.

 Thank you,
 István


 Technical Details:

 gentoo-sources 2.6.20-r5, skype 1.3.0.53-r1, alsa-driver 1.0.14-rc3


I have kernel 2.6.18-r6, skype 1.3.0.53, alsa-driver 1.0.14-rc3

My audio works fine, it's not perfect, a bit quiet but good enough to listen 
to music or movies.  I've never managed to get my microphone to work with 
this sound card either, even though the microphone bars are there in 
alsamixer.  I solved the problem by buying a cheap little external usb sound 
card which I use exclusively for skype, it works fine.  You just have to set 
up a second sound card using usb-audio.  There's a page on the gentoo-forums 
on how to do it (it's for an actual skype phone, but the sound setup is much 
the same)

I have no personal experience with HDA Intel, but from the output above
it looks like what's happening is that the mixer is being set up for the
modem, and not the soundcard... although I might be wrong. Just a thought.

I have an HP/Compaq nx9420 with an Intel HDA Chipset and Skype/Mic. is working

I remember some troubles concerning KMix switching the capture LED of the 
Capture-Channel to off after 1-5 seconds, but IIRC it was working finally 
without any problems.

Will take a look at my configuration in ~4-5hours, when I'm at home.

/etc/modules.d/alsa:

I've attached screenshots of KMix, so take a look, which switches are

Yes, I will. I found lot of problems with this kind of sound card, even
with windows xp.

An other interesting thing: how to use the modem :)
I installed slmodem, seems working, but not tested yet.

mine is a

i had to compile the snd-hda-intel as module and add the following line 
in /etc/modules.d/alsa:
options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-digout position_fix=1 index=0

now it works pretty fine.

with skype, i configured it to use OSS. don't know exactly why, but it works 
fine.

Hi!

I have a similar card in my lenovo laptop. At first my mic did not work 
either, but then I found something:

My resolution was:
Try alsamixer -V all you will then be provided with more channels and 
hopefully a capture device. There you have to push space so CAPTURE appears 
in red. The same for the mic. Then unmute and turn up the capture and the mic 
device.

Hopefully this works for you too.
