[Bug 153119] Re: Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630
I can't get the internal mic working at all, but I can get the external mic working - it took a while and even longer to fix the horrific distortion. However it now works fine so hopefully this will help other people: * set Digital Input Source (on playback screen!) to Analog Inputs (not Digital Input 1 as most people do) * capture the Capture device (not Capture 1 device) * set Digital device sound to about two-thirds - any higher and it distorts badly * set Capture device to zero (if you set it higher you also get distortion) -- Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Mandy, I would be really interested to find out how you got to the point of having the mic working at all. I seem to have exactly the same hardware as you in my Latitude D630: 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [8086:284b] (rev 02) Subsystem: Dell Dell Latitude D630 [1028:01f9] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast TAbort- TAbort- MAbort- SERR- PERR- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 21 Region 0: Memory at fe9fc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: access denied But with Gutsy (+ backported modules) as well as with Hardy I don't get the microphone working at all. I noticed one small difference between your and my amixer output, namely that I don't have this switch: Simple mixer control 'Digital',0 Capabilities: cvolume Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 120 Front Left: Capture 58 [48%] [-1.00dB] Front Right: Capture 58 [48%] [-1.00dB] I think this is the crucial part of getting the microphone to work, so I was wondering whether you did anything to make this appear?

First, this problem is similar to mine. Plugging an external microphone seems to have no effect at all, adn it is using the condenser microphone which sounds like crap. D630. Linux 2.6.23-11 Since i am using Debian lenny and not Ubuntu, it would help if someone would explain exactly what needs to be ugraded (alsa or the kernel?) to get the external microphone to work on a D630. -- Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Unfortunately this is an Ubuntu bug report forum (as in, a place to provide information useful to Ubuntu developers in fixing bugs in Ubuntu). It's not a general support forum for Ubuntu, and also isn't either a bug report forum or support forum for Debian. You should search for your problem at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ and if you do not find it, report it there. For what it's worth, the external microphone seems to work fine with standard Ubuntu 8.04 builds of software: linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic (Ubuntu build 2.6.24-16.30) alsa-base (Ubuntu build 1.0.16-0ubuntu4) alsa-utils (Ubuntu build 1.0.15-3ubuntu2) -- Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 153119] Re: Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630
Mary, this might be overly simplistic, but I had what sounds like a similar problem after upping the capture levels in alsamixer. It sounded like I was making my test voice recordings while standing outside in a high wind. The resolution was simply moving the mic half an arm's length away from my mouth. With Feisty, I had to press my microphone into my mouth in order to get people to hear me at all on Skype, and I was still doing this. Holding the mic 8 inches from my mouth results in exceptional recording quality.

[Bug 153119] Re: Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630
It was already as described in your link Jose. We can record sound coming from the integrated microphone of the computer, but the sound is at a very low volume, even with all parameters set to the highest level in the gnome volume center, meaning that we have to be very very close to the microphone if we wan't to be heared during an audio conversation. On the same computer using Windows XP, the volume of the microphone is definitely higher. -- Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Try this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell/+bug/147682/comments/19 The fact that you can at least capture sound makes me think you just have to adjust the alsa settings. If you couldn't record at all, then that would be a different issue. ** Changed in: dell Status: New = Invalid -- Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 153119] Re: Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630
Have you tried raising the volume on your Capture devices? Run alsamixer, type F5, and look for the Capture' slots. Yes. It does of course increase the volume of the captured sound, but it also increased the volume of the extra noise.

[Bug 153119] Re: Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630
I had this problem on my vostro 1500 with fiesty installed but didn't bothered to fix it. When I installed gusty the sound was gone as well. Fixed the sound with help from this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell/+bug/131133. Quite long thread but the solution is more or less install linux-backports-modules-2.6.22-14-generic. Note: it isn't enough with the linux-backports-modules only. Then to the mic problem that was a easy solution. Just right cllick on sound icon in to right corner open edit - preferences and check everything playback tab unmute all and raise volume recording tab unmute all and raise volume switches tab uncheck everything options tab choose digital mic 1 as Digital input Source This works fine for me and as far as I know I don't have a digital mic? I use a koss sb/45 headset.

Re: [Bug 153119] Re: Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630
In light of Peter's message, I should clarify that I already have linux- backports-modules-2.6.22-14-generic installed. It's the only reason sound works at all. However, *even if* I have linux-backports- modules-2.6.22-14-generic installed, microphone capture is still very poor quality, hence this bug. -- Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
