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! ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Incomplete -- [SigmaTel STAC9205] Recording problem, does not record from line-in source https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
