** Summary changed:

- Choppy and jerky recorded sound with snd-hda-intel
+ snd-hda-intel sound inpout utterly broken

** Description changed:

- For machines requiring snd_hda_intel (Lenovo Thinkpad X60, R61i, Dell 
Vostro...) to get the sound working, the microphone sound capture is jerky and 
choppy. The built-in internal mic does not work at all.
+ For machines requiring snd_hda_intel (Lenovo Thinkpad X60, R61i, Dell
+ Vostro...) to get the sound working, the microphone sound capture is
+ jerky and choppy or does not work at all. The built-in internal mic does
+ not work at all.
+ 
  On some machine reloading the module fixes the problem.
  
  Step to reproduce : 
  Normally boot the laptop,
  Launch ekiga and go through the assistant, and do the audio test
  --> ekiga records mic input and plays it with a 3-second delay
  --> the sound should be *choppy*
  Quit ekiga and quit all applications using sound (including gnome-mixer)
  $ sudo modprobe -r snd-hda-intel
  $ sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
  Launch ekiga and go through the assistant, and do the audio test
  --> the sound should be *clear*
  
+ On other machines adding some kernel parameters to snd-hda-intel solves
+ the problem partially. (e.g. gets either the internal or the external
+ mic working).
+ 
+ On some other machines no workaround is found yet, sond input is
+ impossible!
+ 
+ See the duplicates of this bug to see specific cases. But it seems that
+ this module which is the driver for widely adopted sound chips has some
+ major problems related to sound input. Sound recording/VoIP just doesn't
+ work.
+ 
  Conditions :
  Brand new edgy/feisty/hardy installation.
  ESD disabled.
