I have a Vostro 1400 and ran through all the steps listed in this thread, and have had no luck getting the digital mic to work: First,I placed "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack" into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base Then I followed the steps that Pawel proposed: 1) added gutsy-proposed to my sources.list -- done 2) ran apt-get update -- done 3) installed linux-backports-modules -- done 4) restarted the laptop to reload the kernel and modules -- done 5) ran alsamixer and set the following settings: Section: [All] Digital Input Source: Digital -- PROBLEM! In alsamixer, there is a "Digital" slider, but I am unable to select "Digital" (or anything for that matter) for the "Digital Input Source." After that try failed, I followed what Sympy did, building ALSA 1.0.16 from source. It built and installed no problem, and upon reboot the sound worked fine. However, the mic was in the same situation as before ( a "digital" slider but no option to set "digital" or "digital mic" as the Digital Input Source.

It worked! The internal mic finally worked! Excellent job, guys! That said, I'm stuck at three things: 1) The background hiss is quite loud. I think I can use Skype, but I'm curious: is this going to be fixed eventually or is more likely a hardware issue? 2) How can I use an external mic if I want to? I plugged one and fiddled with the mixers and volume options, but had no success. 3) I can't use two headphones at the same time. The two jacks work separately (although the second one doesn't turn off the speakers and I have to do it manually), but the first one disables the second, so I can't use both at the same time...

Hi Harvey, thanks for the reply. I tried to compile alsa-drivers, alsa-lib and alsa-utils like in the link you gave me. configure, make and make install went without problems, but after I rebooted my sound simply vanished. The sound was not working out of the box, I had to put options probe_mask=1 model=3stack to get it to work, but after the alsa 1.0.16 installation is not working again. I executed alsamixer and unmuted everything that was being shown, but didn't make any difference. Does alsamixer have extra hidden mixers that I have to do something to access? It currently shows Master, PCM, Front, Surround, Center, LFE, Line In, Mic as 0, Analog L and Swap Cen, all unmuted. The last four have no mixer bar. :( -- [PATCH] Add STAC9228 DMIC support, SRU TEST CASE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153963 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

Sympy: For my laptop model, the only gotcha is to unmute surround in either alsamixer or gnome-volume-control and then reboot or restart alsa. This gets alsa working normally for me. Otherwise I don't get sound. To get the mic working, try following the instructions in the comment above. You have to configure through both alsamixer and gnome-volume- control. Doubleclicking the speaker icon (upper right panel) will open gnome-volume-control.

Confirming bug resolution on Hardy Desktop amd64 Alpha 4 on the Dell Inspiron 1420. The latest update to the kernel in Hardy (2.6.24-7) resolves this issue (and another alsa issue). Big thanks to Daniel Chen (crimsun) and his help in #ubuntu+1 on this issue! After the kernel is updated you have to perform the following steps to get the microphone to work (this assumes you already have alsa/pulseaudio sound working: 1. open alsamixer 1.a. unmute IEC958 1.b. change Digital Input Source to Digital Mic 1 2. close alsamixer 3. open gnome-volume-control 3.a. navigate to Edit > Preferences 3.b. check the Digital box (or all of them if you prefer) 3.c. open the Recording tab 3.d. raise the volume from 0 to 100 4. open sound recorder and test! I don't know why alsamixer doesn't show the Digital volume, this may be due to the alsamixer version. -- [PATCH] Add STAC9228 DMIC support, SRU TEST CASE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153963 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

[Bug 153963] Re: [PATCH] Add STAC9228 DMIC support, SRU TEST CASE
Here's my situation: I did a fresh install of Gutsy 64-bit on my new Vostro 1400 with the following board: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) Initially I had no sound. Following several guides and forum posts, I added options snd-hda-intel model=3stack to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base. This got sound working but with a few problems: 1 - Sound didn't work after suspending. 2 - I could get both headphone jacks working after fiddling with the mixers, but the second jack would not disable the internal speakers and the jacks would not work at the same time. Changing 3stack to 5stack fixed the first problem but not the second one. So I tried to install the recently released alsa-1.0.16 to see if I could fix those problems and enable the internal mic. I downloaded alsa-driver, alsa-firmware, alsa-lib, alsa-plugins and alsa-utils, all 1.0.16, from the official site and compiled them all with ./configure, make, sudo make install. The results couldn't be worse: my card stopped being detected. So following the guide in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto I copied /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-hda-intel.ko and copied all modules in alsa's compile directory to /lib/modules/.../kernel/sound. After doing that and a sudo depmod -a, things got a little better: my card was detected. However, I now have no sound. Nothing. It's like the same situation I had after the fresh install, only with more mixers. As far as I know, everything is unmuted in alsamixer.

[Bug 153963] Re: [PATCH] Add STAC9228 DMIC support, SRU TEST CASE
Vinicius Massuchetto: This isn't yet fixed in Hardy Desktop amd64 Alpha 4, yet. But they are promising to update alsa-driver to 1.0.16rc2, which makes the special fix I mentioned before a moot point. If you are still using Hardy you don't have to do any special but compile the 1.0.16rc2 alsa-driver. Here's the steps to get you going: 1. Open https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto This will walk you through the steps of compiling the alsa-driver, libs, and utils. As far as required tools go, you may only need build- essential. If you aren't sure, it won't hurt to install them all. 2. Get the alsa stuff from http://www.alsa- project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page For Hardy, all you need is alsa-driver. For Gutsy, just get the latest development versions of each and then follow the instructions. Don't forget to unmute the surround option, or no sound. If you are trying to get the mic to work, then you'll have to add to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa- base: options snd-hda-intel model=<3stack or dell-3stack work for me> Then you have to set all the right options in alsamixer (or in gnome- volume-control), and voila your mic should work Hope this helps -- [PATCH] Add STAC9228 DMIC support, SRU TEST CASE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153963 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

Steps to reproduce success (amd64): I'll document these in more detail later, positively sometime this weekend. Problems you are still having: If I remember right, the reason I used a daily alsa build and not the release version is because the necessary patching is not present in release 1.0.15. The downside to building alsa yourself, is that when the kernel is updated, you have to remember to rebuild alsa manually.

Okay, after so many posts here I'm a bit confused (and interested, since I have a laptop with this mic) So, please correct me where I am wrong (concerning the internal mic): 1) For Gutsy 32-bit, installing the latest linux-backports-modules should be enough. 2) For Gutsy 64-bit, compiling latest alsa image (Or perhaps 1.0.16rc1?) should be enough. 3) For Hardy, it should just work. 4) In all cases, there is noticeable background noise and, although it does not render the mic unusable, there's not a fix for it yet.

Hello! I upgraded to Hardy, and at least got no error message anymore when testing the MIC at System > Preferences > Sound. But I still have no sound. I installed the following packages: alsa-base-1.0.15-4ubuntu1 alsa-utils-1.0.15-2ubuntu1 linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-3.2-generic linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-3-generic-2.6.24-3.6 But all that I can hear from any record I do is that damn loud noise! I played a lot with the volume control, and got no success yet. Anyone can help me?

[Bug 153963] Re: [PATCH] Add STAC9228 DMIC support, SRU TEST CASE
Matt, Thanks for your help! Eventually I got the mic working at an acceptable level using alsa's softvol plugin. How to do that: - get the latest alsa-driver snapshot (12-Jan-2008). - get the alsa-utils, alsa-lib (1.0.15). - create/edit ~/.asoundrc (per user) - this is mine: pcm.digmic { type softvol slave.pcm "default" control.name "digmic" control.card 0 min_dB -30.0 max_dB 30.0 } The "digmic" is a name chosen by me as a new created recording device, which will be detected by an alsa-compliant application at it's start - you must select it for recording in the application's settings. The "digmic" is a name chosen by me as a new mixer that will appear *after* starting using this device - this is not crap but a feature like the windows vista dinamic mixers which appear for every new application started. Tested with skype and audacity - you can properly use the mic. There is a noticeable background noise - more powerful than the one in vista - but I can't tell for sure. Also the "Digital" slider appears in the mixers, so both "digmic" and "Digital" will appear among the mixers and they both influence the volume. None will appear if you don't have this entry above in ~/.asoundrc. It's like a redundancy which doesn't make much sense to me - maybe I got something wrong, but in the end the mic is working... Thanks guys!

Greetings, Related to the microphone TOO low issue (-50db): on a Dell XPS M1330. Compiling ALSA from sources - amd64 arch. I downloaded ALSA snapshot dated 10-Jan-2007 - it already has the patch + also explicitly detects now the M1330 model. But the mic is still to low, so I searched in patch_sigmatel.c for the "sensibility" patch (does it has to make the mic more sensitive?) - spec->dmux_nid = 0x1c; + spec->dmux_nid = 0x1b; But dmux_nid was removed, there is a member called dmux_nids - which is a vector and contains in this case the patched element - 0x1b. While have no ideea about these codes and dmux_nids - I think that all your changes are patch are included, and after that the structures slight refactored... but the mic is still unusable. Only thing you can do with it is record with audacity and normalize volume to -6db...? By no means u can't use kopete / skype with this! So I guess this is still open?

[Bug 153963] Re: [PATCH] Add STAC9228 DMIC support, SRU TEST CASE
Hi! I'm under AMD64/CoreDuo on Vostro 1400 (STAC9228) and successfully installed linux-backports-modules-2.6.22.14.21 via the gutsy-proposed repository. The Mic still don't work, and I have the DIGITAL bar on gnome-volume-control as I did before. While running any instance that needs the Mic , I only can hear an horrible and loud noise. It doesn't matter how I turn up or down the CAPTURE and DIGITAL volumes. It's useless to talk anything. While testing the audio capture on System > Preferences > Sound, I get the following error: gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat Harvey, can you please explain better what you did here? I would like to follow this procedure. -- Since linux-backports-modules-2.6.22-14.11 will not build for amd64, I downloaded and installed the latest daily build of alsa-driver/lib/utils and applied the fixes to the alsa-driver as documented by Tim Gardner in ubuntu-gutsy-lbm/updates/sound/README. The driver/lib/utils builds correctly, and the microphone now works on the 1420 in amd64 (as it does in i386). I don't know enough about the debian packaging/build system to identify why linux-backports-modules-2.6.22-14.11 will not build for amd64, but would guess that since I can build from source there may be something amiss with the package. -- Thank You! -- [PATCH] Add STAC9228 DMIC support, SRU TEST CASE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153963 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
