Public bug reported: I recently realized that my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1721) has a build-in microphone. It works out of the box in Windows but not under Linux. Presently, I am running Natty with the most recent updates, though this issue existed even before the upgrade in Maverick. There is a related bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/497546, but I cannot determine whether this is a duplicate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
