Public bug reported: internal mic on the dell vostro a90 doesn't work with the stock karmic install.
audio output doesn't work by default either, but i was able to fix that by adding "options snd-hda-intel model=dell" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa- base.conf. but nothing for the mic. see the attached files for details. lspci -nn reports: 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller [8086:27d8] (rev 02) ProblemType: Bug AplayDevices: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC268 Analog [ALC268 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: ubuntu 4991 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c: ubuntu 4991 F...m pulseaudio Card0.Amixer.info: Card hw:0 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xf0540000 irq 22' Mixer name : 'Realtek ALC268' Components : 'HDA:10ec0268,102802b2,00100101' Controls : 17 Simple ctrls : 11 CheckboxCommand: alsa_record_playback CheckboxDescription: Pair a Bluetooth headset with your system.
