OK, so I used hdajackretask to set jack detection to 'not present' for the front and back mic inputs, and things work as expected (I can select them from the 'sound settings' gui)
So is this just my sound card claiming that the front mic has jack sense when it doesn't, or is there a bug in the alsa driver? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1275178 Title: [GA-MA780G-UD3H, Realtek ALC889A, Pink Mic, Front] Recording problem Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Pulseaudio doesn't detect the analogue input. The input tab of the sound settings only shows digital input (s/pdif). So through alsa, recording works (if a little quiet), but through pulse it doesn't.
