Hi Daniel,

It seems that I've found a temporary workaround to this bug.

I've tried all the possible options for snd-hda-intel in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and in the end I had some success with "options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba" (even if the laptop brand is HP).

In this case the mic autoswitching doesn't work (i.e. the sound input must be selected manually), but I now have a selection box under "gnome-volume-control > Input" which lets me choose either Line-in, Microphone 2 or Microphone 1.

Please let me know if you need any further info.
Thanks in advance!
