Hi, I'm testing with the Lucid RC and the problems still persist. The PCM is turned all the way up and the sound is distorted; this has been the case going back to Gutsy since I've had this machine. I tried to record something with Sound Recorder and I expected to hear my own voice when playing it back. There was nothing heard.
As requested, I'm sending the attachment. ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: Feel free to mark this as a dupe of 278648, but as of Karmic, ThinkPad R61s with Conexant CX20549 (Venice) sound devices have non-functioning microphones and less-than-stellar sound output. This submission is in hopes that ALSA can be patched by the Lucid LTS to include a working mic and fully functional sound. Currently the workaround requires the following: 1. Grabbing the ALSA upgrade script from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810 2. Downloading the Conexant patch from https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/login.php?username=guest&password=guest&return=/alsa-bug/view.php%3Fid%3D4163 3. Applying the patch: $ cd /to/your/directory/where/the/script/is/saved $ sudo sh ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -d $ sudo patch /usr/src/Alsa-1.0.20/alsa-driver-1.0.20/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_conexant.c ~/path/to/patch_conexant.c.patch $ sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -i 4. Saving the patch and script in case of future kernel upgrades (at minimum performing the last command in step 3 after a kernel upgrade). 5. Upon rebooting, readjusting sound levels and performing the general PA fixes as suggested by other Ubuntu forum threads. - According to the comments in 278648, this has NOT been submitted - upstream and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on how to best notify - upstream of the patch. This is a potential showstopper for those with - R61i machines who need to be able to use the microphone and the sooner - this patch can be applied before Lucid, the better. + According to the comments in 278648, this has NOT been submitted upstream and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on how to best notify upstream of the patch.
