I just tested 'linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic' on a fresh xubuntu. It seems almozavr's suggestion and installing l-b-m-a-k-g have exactly the same effect.
With all in- and outputs at their maximum the external microphone works, but it's more noisy. The internal microphone works too, but it's to soft to be usefull. When I press my lips against the screen edge and speak with a normal volume skype barely pics up any sound (not exactly how you'd want to use a internal microphone anyway). I used skype to test because there's no way to hear the mic input feedback directly by un- muting mic out in alsa anymore. I guess when I tried l-b-m-a-k-g before I just didn't notice it was working (very soft). -- System Test for microphone failed (ACER Aspire 3810T) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
