Appreciate all the effort in this gentlemen: I should add that I'm also having issues on a VPC-Z12CGX where I can get a little bit if I turn things way up and talk directly into the mic you can hear a very faint recording.
Plugging in a headset with integrated mic into the headphone port results in the same operation. However I should add that using a headset in the headphone port used to work back on my 10.10 install. I used to use it for google voice all the time. Now not so much luck. I did recently get a new headset but I just yesterday finally boot into windows and test and it does work there. Took like 15 tries to remember what the heck the password on that windows install was and I wasn't even about to spend the time to install the updates it wanted. ;) ~Brett _____ From: sony-vaio-z-series-bounces+brett=livecomputers....@lists.launchpad.net [mailto:sony-vaio-z-series-bounces+brett=livecomputers.com@lists.launchpad.n et] On Behalf Of Alex Safiullin Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 10:51 AM To: vick Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Sony-vaio-z-series] Microphone issues - VPCZ139GG 09.05.2011 6:36 пользователь "vick" <[email protected]> написал: > > Try > options snd-hda-intel model=auto > > instead of > > options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba-s06 > Yap, thanks! Since my laptop has ALC889 sound-chip ( cat /proc/asound/pcm ), so according to the file /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/HD-Audio-Models.txt.gz it should be options snd-hda-intel model=sony-vaio-tt or options snd-hda-intel model=auto Nevertheless mic doesn't work :( dmesg shows the following: [ 3209.796352] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 3209.796432] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: irq 45 for MSI/MSI-X [ 3209.796603] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 3209.894707] hda_codec: ALC889: SKU not ready 0x411111f0 [ 3209.906141] input: HDA Intel Headphone as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input11 [ 3209.906260] HDA Intel 0000:01:00.1: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 3209.906262] hda_intel: Disable MSI for Nvidia chipset [ 3209.906307] HDA Intel 0000:01:00.1: setting latency timer to 64 [ 3274.032893] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj. Maybe it can give some insight to gurus on this list. Thanks in advance! Best regards, Alex
