An update on my experience with the Eee 900 microphone in Hardy... Using the custom kernel assembled by eeeuser forum member "adamm" has solved the problem. I do not know the specifics of what caused the mic to start working, but the custom kernel discussion can be found here:
http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=32303&p=1 ...and the Web site devoted to the custom kernel is here: http://www.array.org/ubuntu/index.html I'm very satisfied with this setup on the Eee 900. Perhaps someone here can weed through and pick out the exact customization that fixed the microphone issue? -Mark -- EeePC internal microphone does not function out-of-the-box with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232173 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu EEEPC, which is a direct subscriber.
