Public bug reported:

I have working sound as per the uploaded fix for bug 131133 (that is,
version 2.6.22-14.10 of linux-backports-modules-2.6.14-generic).
Playback and recording both work, but the recording does not have
acceptable quality.

I have a microphone plugged into the socket.

If I set 'Input Sound' to 'Mic' in alsamixer, the recording is so faint
that I can barely hear it. If I set it to 'Front Mic' the recording is a
decent volume but there is also a whining static sound which is very
unpleasant. (Note that the meaning of 'Mic' versus 'Front Mic' is
entirely opaque to me: it's easy to find suggestions on which settings
to twiddle, difficult to find out what they mean.) There is no 'Mic
Boost' option.
