Some days ago I have received an update for the alsa drivers from the PPA 
repository. Now on my system the latest version 1.0.21 is installed. Naturally 
I have tested if something is changed for my problem with the microphone. 
After the first reboot I have found that the speakers and the hear-phones don't 
work anymore! But surprise, surprise, the microphone works very well. This is 
very strange.
So, I made some research in the alsa documentation and I have found a couple of 
setting that could work:
1) I inserted this line <options snd-hda-intel model=hp-hdx enable_msi=1> at 
the end of the file </etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf> and I rebooted.
result ==> no speakers audio, microphone ok, one time the hear-phones works, 
one time no. This is strange because the "hp-hdx" is exactly my model of laptop

2) I inserted this line <options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4 enable_msi=1> at the 
end of the file </etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf> replacing the line above and I 
rebooted.
result ==> speakers audio ok, microphone not working, hear-phones audio ok. The 
"hp-m4" is not exactly my model of laptop, but at least the sound work. 

I guess that the model "hp-m4" excludes the microphone, so the main
audio can work. It is as if the main audio and the microphone were
mutually exclusive.
