Hi Ryan, I do not have a problem with the microphone inputs now, and GAMix is happy with with the sound-chip.

Thanks for the work. I reported the bug mainly for information purposes, as I have various PCs here and so I have workarounds.

For me this chip has worked fine in Maverick (Ubuntu 10.10) and every subsequent release. If it's the same for you then I think we can close the bug. If you still have this problem in the current Ubuntu release, that would also be important to know. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827600 Title: VIA VT1708B microphone Recording problem Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Neither front nor back microphones work reliably.
