Comment 32 for bug 153119

Hi Mandy,

I would be really interested to find out how you got to the point of having the mic working at all.
I seem to have exactly the same hardware as you in my Latitude D630:

00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [8086:284b] (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Dell Dell Latitude D630 [1028:01f9]
        Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B-
        Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
        Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 21
        Region 0: Memory at fe9fc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>

But with Gutsy (+ backported modules) as well as with Hardy I don't get the microphone working at all. I noticed one small difference between your and my amixer output, namely that I don't have this switch:

Simple mixer control 'Digital',0
  Capabilities: cvolume
  Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Capture 0 - 120
  Front Left: Capture 58 [48%] [-1.00dB]
  Front Right: Capture 58 [48%] [-1.00dB]

I think this is the crucial part of getting the microphone to work, so I was wondering whether you did anything to make this appear?

Thanks,
Frank
