Hello I have very same configuration of HW and problems. With Gutsy I was able to make the external microphone work by adding
options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 model=5stack (have to try this trick for Hardy yet, can someone tell me what is actually means and where should I digg more info about that?) to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base. Now I upgraded to Hardy Alpha and none of the microphones work (there is also integrated one next to the webcam which I would love to have working). I believe there is a lot of users with this bug, so please try to guide me to solve this. I am going to attach my logs as I found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems It would be nice if some dev/ advanced user can tell me what is actually wrong. I have several microphones in my gnome Volume control applet (Capture, Capture1, Capture2, Digital) none of them works and I have no idea what it means. I will try to be as responsive on this bug as I can. ** Attachment added: "output of alsa-info.sh script" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12603521/alsa-info.txt -- mic not working on dell vostro 1400 with hda intel (gutsy and hardy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188972 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
