Hi!

I have been struggling entire day today to get my sound card up and
running properly but with not luck. Running openSuSE 10.3 on AMD x64
on acer Aspire notebook. The sound output works perfectly OK but I
struggle to get my microphone working. Initially I assumed it was
Skype problem but then tried recording sound with krec and it fails as
well.

The sound card is (lspci):
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High
Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [8086:27d8 (rev 02)]

And as it has been properly discovered by yast2 sound I am using Intel
HDA driver module

Because it is on Acer Aspire 5630 I have altered /etc/modprobe.d/sound
to be the following:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
# u1Nb.FPeEl_lypDB:82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=acer

And it works OK:

kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22
kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1b.0 to 64
kernel: ALSA 
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/alsa-driver-hg20080118/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2212:
hda_codec: model 'acer' is selected

As you can see the driver is also pretty up to date.

I could not find many more clues for this specific problem as the card
generally works and I have output via speakers/headphones. The most
obvious would be to look in the mixer settings for Input but I have
double-checked that levels are set to maximum and Mic and Capture is
ON. I can also check the the mic itself works because if I go to
Output mixer controls and turn the Mic on I can hear it well in the
headphones (but that presumably only enables internal sound card
routing of the signal).

In the input channels I have:
* Front Mic Boost
* Mic Boost
* Capture
* Capture
* Digital

Though both Capture are enabled the level on it is always at the
minimum but even if I turn it up and reopen the mixer it resets to
zero.

Any clues someone? I don't know where to look now.

Cheers,
