Yaay! i found a workaround! It seems that the mic isn't correctly detected. What i did was:
sudo echo "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi" > /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf and the mic started to work after a reboot. if it didn't work for you, you may try replacing " dell-headset-multi " with " headset-mic " , " alc271-dmic " or any other mic model from https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt that is assigned to your audio card. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1351916 Title: [Aspire V5-571G, Realtek ALC271X] 4-pin jack mic doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1351916/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
