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
