Bug Description

During Natty certification testing on the X100e I tried recording audio by using the internal microphone and using a microphone connected to the external combo jack. In both cases, no audio was recorded. All I heard on playback was a short burst that sounded like static.

I should add that USB audio works just fine. It's only when using the internal mic or a mic connected to the external combo jack that fails audio recording.

David -- Does this behaviour line up with the current investigation we have going on where the audio jack randomly stops working after an interrupt storm?
