dzinkss, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.
If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as: kernel-fixed-upstream-3.18-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393576 Title: internal mic is extreamly quiet Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hello, The internal mic of my Dell Vostro 1500 is extreamly quiet. It does work but one need to shout to get anything recorded. I've been trying to use all the STAC9025 models STAC9205/9254 ============= ref Reference board dell-m42 Dell (unknown) dell-m43 Dell Precision dell-m44 Dell Inspiron eapd Keep EAPD on (e.g. Gateway T1616) auto BIOS setup (default) in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, but non of these changed the signal level. I was also playing with alsamixer and various settings including muting left/right channel as suggested in some other page without any effect. The mic works good in vista.
