** Description changed: - On Acer Aspire 5001 and Acer Aspire 5050, the integrated soundcard`s + On Acer Aspire 5100 and Acer Aspire 5050, the integrated soundcard`s microphone doesn`t work, a manual alsa-lib, alsa-driver and alsa-utils update can fix these issues, the latest version of alsa is 1.0.14a feisty has alsa 1.0.13-3, in feisty`s default version alsamixer doesn`t start, and neighter does most mixer programs, kmix however does and displays a fraction of the soundcards settings, but NO microphone option and other recording capabilities, so recording is totally disabled in feisty`s default alsa version, after the ugrade of the alsa packagees, all recording capabilities and options of the soundcard are displayed, but as an unnatural side effect, the laptop`s volum keys don`t function correctly, it displays what needs to be displayed when I increase or decrease the volum. but for some reason it doesn`t effect the playback volum, this may be because my lack of configuring everything and/or compiling all alsa packages, but even if it`s impossible to get the volum keys working with the new version of alsa, it`s better to have the microphone working at all. This may affect other laptops(and/or Desktop PC`s) than my Acer Aspire - 5001. + 5100. + + UPDATE: + I had filesystem corruption a week ago, so I reinstalled everything(kept the /home/), microphone worked now out of the box, I checked the alsa version, and I saw that a newer one is in the repositories than the one I had.
