Hi,

I connected a headset (analog mic and phones) to an A-test board.
Sound output works fine after "alsaunmute". I have difficulties with
input, though.

I unmuted "Mic" in alsamixer, and tried arecord. Nothing is recorded.
"V_REFOUT" does make a difference, it connects in and out so I hear
what I'm saying directly (even more so if I enable "Mic boost").
However, in arecord I still get silence.

So - what do I need to do for mic recording? Does this have to do
with the analog input, do I have to switch that off?

Of course you have to switch it off; otherwise we'd have it on all the
time and have no control at all.

That's why I assumed it would be off by default.

The only documentation I could find is in a mailing list thread (http://mailman.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2006-July/000672.html):

*a- tell the EC to turn on MIC_AC (ie: bypass C35 and R25) [ OLPC specific ] *b- tell ALSA to disable VREFOUT and the high pass filter [ AD1888 specific ]

So how do I "tell the EC to turn off MIC_AC"?

Whether this is actually your problem, only you can tell.

Well, is it normal that enabling this loops the mic directly to the phones?
