Hi David, as you suggested to me in the past, I tried the last drivers, but without success. Yesterday I compiled 3.8.8 and tried hda-jack-retask, but without succes: maybe here I'm doing something wrong.
What I did was: download it, make localmodconfig (put in this folder my distro confing file before) make menuconfig (here I don't know whether I should make some changes) make; as root make modules_install make install reboot As regards vendor-specific and EAPD, they were suggested to me by Takashi Iwai, who pointed out it should be a problem regarding how the BIOS sets the mic pins. Also, I found this interesting in the realtek patch SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x106b, 0x3400, "MacBookAir 1,1", ALC889_FIXUP_MBP_VREF), but I think it only fixes sound output, not input. As regards the last point, can you give me some hints on what to do and how? Also, I'm not sure what one can change: just the codec used, or also these can be changed Vendor Id: 0x10ec0885 Subsystem Id: 0x106b3400 Revision Id: 0x100103? Here is another post with some details regarding my problem (more or less the same data as here.)

I can't make the microphones (neither external nor internal) work. Speaking with some wise guys, it seems there is a problem with linux kernel trying to decipher apple (intentionally) corrupted bios, in particular the mic pins are wrongly assigned. The output from alsa scipt is at http://www.alsa- project.org/db/?f=be223eb44b2a00f0849a924678698244848ca61b while hda- jack-sense-test -a (with external mic in) gives me Pin 0x14 (Internal Speaker): present = No Pin 0x15 (Green HP Out): present = Yes Pin 0x16 (Not connected): present = No Pin 0x17 (Not connected): present = No Pin 0x18 (Not connected): present = No Pin 0x19 (Not connected): present = No Pin 0x1a (Not connected): present = No Pin 0x1b (Not connected): present = No Pin 0x1c (Not connected): present = No Pin 0x1d (Not connected): present = No Pin 0x1e (Not connected): present = No Pin 0x1f (Not connected): present = No A nice proposal would be to compile the latest linux kernel and run hda-jack-retask to try to set the configuration right (in the case of Realtek codec, the missing things I'm supposed to check are either some vendor-specific COEF verbs, EAPD or GPIO setup.) Since I'm not that familiar with this last part of the story, can anyone help me through this process?
