Dear ubuntu team, I've managed to fix my issue. Because I hope this can be useful to others here are the instructions to make it work.
snd-hda-intel takes some parameters, one of the parameter is the model of the card used. To read more about models, check /usr/share/doc/alsa-base/driver/ALSA-Configuration.txt.gz file and search snd-hda-intel. To see what model is used one can issue: 'aplay - L' or better 'cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat' in my case it is SigmaTel STAC9228 So I checked back the ALSA-Configuration file and see there is dell-3stack driver that looks familiar to what I have. Then I added 'options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack' to /etc/modprobe.conf/alsa-base and rebooted (actually I guess just reload of drivers should be fine). Sound was ok, but still no microphone worked in Sound Recorder (I tried Capture1, Capture2, Capture3, Digital) but when I opened gnome-volume-control, Selected Options (just make sure you have all ticked in Edit->Preferences) tab and changed Digital Input Source to Digital Mic 1 recording is fine using the integrated microphone in the laptop. My external mic does not work, but I do not care as the one integrated is doing fine and I guess I can make it work by plaing with some source of Capture combination. Anyway it would be nice if someone eplained what is difference between : Input source (gnome-volume-control): Mic, Front Mic, Line Digital Input source (volume control): Digital Mic1 , Digital Mic2 and Analog Record input from (sound recorder): Capture(1,2), Digital, Mux Issue is solved for me now. -- mic not working on dell vostro 1400 with hda intel (gutsy and hardy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188972 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
