I found this workaround on the web: 1) sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
2) add the following at the end of the file: options snd-hda-intel model=dell-s14 3) restart and the internal microphone should work. It works for maverick 64-bits and probably also for lucid I think an official fix should be released for this problem -- Basically useless audio input on Dell M4500 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/656133 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
