I also had this problem with my new Dell E6400. But for me it turned out that this is not a bug. This post solved my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6308232&postcount=6
"So here's how you can fix it.. Double click on the sound icon and open your volume control. Select the device HDA Intel (Alsa) [High Definition Audio Device]. Click "Preferences" and have the following items selected: * Digital Mic 1 * Digital Input Source After clicking close, goto the Options tab. Select "Digital Mic 1" for your Digital Input Source. In the Recording tab make sure your Digital Mic 1 is turned up, all the way for testing. Then make sure your sound settings are using ALSA, System > Preferences > Sound. I have everything selected to "ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture". Now test her out. Open "Sound Recorder" and hit the record button. Say the following sentence twice: "Linux is great. Linux is greater than Windows. If the box says Windows 95 or greater, then Linux is the greater. Macs are PCs." Hit "Stop" and then hit "Play". I recommend making sure your playback volume is up as well that way you can hear your voice. At first my volume was muted when I hit play but I realized it was when I noticed I couldn't hear Pandora playing." -- snd_hda_intel (latitude E6400) no mic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/324798 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
