Oh, I'd like to understand what's going on here, what is it that makes recording so impossible with the standard udev detect?
I've done some research about the card with device_id=29. It seems to originate from here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thinkpad-acpi (note the text saying "As of kernel 2.6.33 the thinkpad_acpi driver now has a ALSA sub-driver"). But it is loaded regardless of the manual alsa-source load, and it always fails because of no working profile, and so it shouldn't be the thing destroying the internal mic. If we assume that you *don't* have the "load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0" workaround, is there any way you can get the internal mic working, e g, if you first start a recording through PA (e g with gnome- sound-recorder), then, while recording continues, fiddle with the alsamixer levels the way they need to be fiddled with, will that enable you to record sound in PA? Also, if you replace "load-module module-udev-detect" with "load-module module-udev-detect ignore_db=1", will that make any difference? -- Pulseaudio refuses to use internal microphone input (Lenovo X300) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434520 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
