I have the same issue, even in Gutsy, with my STAC9250 in my Gateway M685 (also known as NX860 or PA6). If I try to arecord, all I get is this, followed by an application hang, then a read error due to timeout:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ arecord -fcd Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo RIFF$�WAVEfmt D��data� I have pastebin'd the results of alsa-info.sh 0.4.19 ( linux-sound.info server is down, so I can't check for updates). http://pastebin.ca/626876 I have noticed in a BIOS update changelog, "Change audio verb table for Vista DTM test" -- would Gateway's driver INI files (one for Vista, one for XP) be useful? Note: one interesting fact is that the onboard microphone jack is stereo, and there is no separate line-in jack. -- sigmatel STAC9250 on ATI HDA SB on gateway laptop - no sound capture https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/111145 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
