Public bug reported:

I have attached the output of "lspci -vv". My microphone does not work
right from hardy heron to intrepid, even though I am now using the
latest kernel (updated on Nov 3 2008) on Intrepid Ibex:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/misc/soundtest$ uname -r
2.6.27-7-generic

gnome-sound-recorder just freezes after I click "Stop Recording", and
the record does not work giving the following output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/misc/soundtest$ arecord -vv -fdat foo.wav
Recording WAVE 'foo.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo

Here is the output of amixer (before I performed the previous test):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/misc/soundtest$ amixer 
Simple mixer control 'Master',0

  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right

  Front Right: Playback 62914 [96%] [on]

  Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Capture 0 - 65536
  Front Left: Capture 65536 [100%] [on]
  Front Right: Capture 65536 [100%] [on]

And version of alsa is:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/misc/soundtest$ alsactl --version
alsactl version 1.0.17


So I guess this means that this audio card is not supported by Alsa? The thing 
is that the mic has worked on Suse Linux enterprise, which I uninstalled!

There are lots of bug reports mentioning mic not working in many
laptops; I'd like to help get it working, so please let me know if there
is any additional information I can provide.
