Thanks for this promising news and your efforts. I am unclear about a few things and would like to ask a few questions. Exactly which tar file from the ALSA site did you d/l and compile and install? I installed, compiled and installed: alsa-driver-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz2 alsa-lib-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz2 alsa-utils-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz The end result is that I got my output volume working normally but my Microphone remains dead. > Just build ONLY the snd_hda_intel modules, and only use the install-modules target to install it. Could you say a little more about this please? What do you think I have left to do? > make it give you *all* the options. Kmix seems pretty minimal. Alsamix seems to be a bit more full featured but I haven't been able to make the microphone work although it does when I boot XP. This is for an HP dv5237d with a Intel Duo Processor and YaST says it is a 82801G (ICH7 family). Alsamixer says it is a HDA Intel Conexant CXT5047. Did you have to do anything in YaST Hardware sound configuration options? Any further help much appreciated.
