Hi Lemmiwinks . Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and
helping to make Ubuntu better. I have found that you need to do the
following to enable the built-in mic on a HP dv7:

1. Please ensure all "linux-backports-modules-alsa-" packages are not
installed (They would only be installed if you have installed them -
they do not get installed by default).

2. Install the "crack of the day" alsa-driver from
https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ppa Also ensure
that you install the "linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.31" package from
that same repository.

3. Do a complete shutdown, as a reboot does not seem to make these
settings "stick".

4. Ensure that the correct channels are not muted using alsamixer (from
a terminal window).

If this does not resolve your issue, please attach your 
"/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf" & "/etc/pulse/default.pa" to this bug report 
so that I am able to help you further diagnose this issue.
Thanks in advance!
