alsa-info.sh for my Lenovo T520
I have same problem. Dashboard mic worked fine in F15. Does not work in F16. Thois is on a Lenovo T520. Please advise what files I can upload here that will help (but it seems to me that the issue is well documented already... just casting my vote that this is not a one-off issue). Thanks.

alsa-info.sh Lenovo TP T520
I had the same problem with my Lenovo Thinkpad t520 with a Conexant CX20590 chip, running Fedora 16. After too many hours of trial and error procedures, I managed to find a workaround for this problem. I outline the problem I had and the solution that worked for me in the steps listed below: 1) I was getting the following messages: "[42.290553] ALSA init.c:200 cannot find the slot for index -536870912 (range 0-0), error: -19 [42.290555] thinkpad_acpi: Failed to create ALSA card structures: -19 [42.290557] thinkpad_acpi: Could not create the ALSA mixer interface" when the machine boots. I suspect that the reason for this was that there was I problem with the Thinkpad ACPI kernel module. I tried various potential fixes but nothing works; so I eventually decide to compile a custom kernel using the instruction available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel. If you don't get the above error or a similar one, you may not need to compile a custom kernel; in that case, you can do directly to step 3. At the kernel configuration phase, I made the following changes to the original kernel .config file (using make menuconfig): I added Thinkpad ACPI support in the kernel rather than compiling it as a kernel module. To accomplish this, I had to do the following: (a) After executing the command "make menuconfig", in the GUI that appear, select "Networking support" then unselect "RF switch subsystem support", then press ESC to return to the original menu; (b) select "Device Drivers" then "X86 Platform Specific Device Drivers", then highlight "Thinkpad ACPI Laptop Extras" and type "y" to add this feature to the kernel. A "<*>" should appear in front of "Thinkpad ACPI Laptop Extras" instead of "<M>". I also selected the option "Allow control of important LEDs (unsafe)". I was hoping that it would have cause the microphone mute button to work, but it didn't. I suspect that this workaround will work without selecting this option, but I haven't tested it so I don't know for sure. (c) Press ESC ESC to go back to the main menu and return to "Networking support" then highlight "RF switch subsystem support" and type "y" to add this feature to the kernel, rather than it being compiled as a module. If you don't follow this sequence and you try to add Thinkpad ACPI support into the kernel, you will get a message saying "This feature depends on another which has been configured as a module. As a result this feature will be build as a module". After configuring the kernel, following the remaining instructions outlined at the link above to build and install the kernel. When you install the kernel, you may get a "Fatal grub error" but you can ignore it. Next edit /etc/modprobe.d/dist-alsa.conf and the following line at the end of the file options snd-hda-intel model=auto then reboot the system. 2) After I install the custom kernel I built and reboot, xorg refuse to start because of nouveau (nvidia) modules in the new kernel. To solve this problem, I followed the instructions outline at http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2011/fedora-16-nvidia-drivers-install-guide-disable-nouveau-driver to install nVidia proprietary drivers on Fedora 16 and disable Nouveau driver. After doing this, I was able to boot the system into xwindows. 3) After I installing the custom kernel and rebooted the system, the microphone still didn't work. To get it to work I did the following: (a) I edited /var/lib/alsa/asound.state by executing the following command "sudo vim /var/lib/alsa/asound.state" and changed it such that relevant portion of this file is as indicated below. Here is what the relevant portion of the file looks like before I edit it. Before editing -------------- control.8 { iface MIXER name 'Mic Capture Switch' value.0 false value.1 false comment { access 'read write' type BOOLEAN count 2 } } control.9 { iface MIXER name 'Internal Mic Boost Volume' value.0 3 value.1 3 comment { access 'read write' type INTEGER count 2 range '0 - 4' dbmin 0 dbmax 4800 dbvalue.0 3600 dbvalue.1 3600 } } control.10 { iface MIXER name 'Internal Mic Capture Volume' value.0 0 value.1 0 comment { access 'read write' type INTEGER count 2 range '0 - 80' dbmin -7400 dbmax 600 dbvalue.0 -7400 dbvalue.1 -7400 } } control.11 { iface MIXER name 'Internal Mic Capture Switch' value.0 false value.1 false comment { access 'read write' type BOOLEAN count 2 } } After editing ------------- control.8 { iface MIXER name 'Mic Capture Switch' value.0 true value.1 true comment { access 'read write' type BOOLEAN count 2 } } control.9 { iface MIXER name 'Internal Mic Boost Volume' value.0 4 value.1 4 comment { access 'read write' type INTEGER count 2 range '0 - 4' dbmin 0 dbmax 4800 dbvalue.0 4800 dbvalue.1 4800 } } control.10 { iface MIXER name 'Internal Mic Capture Volume' value.0 80 value.1 80 comment { access 'read write' type INTEGER count 2 range '0 - 80' dbmin -7400 dbmax 600 dbvalue.0 600 dbvalue.1 600 } } control.11 { iface MIXER name 'Internal Mic Capture Switch' value.0 true value.1 true comment { access 'read write' type BOOLEAN count 2 } } The changes were to change the value associated with "value.0" and "value.1" from "false" to "true" and to change the value assigned to these variables from "0" to "80". 4) After editing /var/lib/also/asound.state, the next step is to get alsa to load the file and consequently change the state of microphone control. I performed this by executing the command "sudo alsactl restore". After doing this, the microphone works!! 5) However, each time I reboot, the microphone again refuse to function. It seems as if ALSA mute the microphone each time the system boots. So after each reboot, I have to execute the command "sudo alsactl restore" to get the microphone to work. I hope that the ALSA guys will find a permanent fix for this problem, but in the meantime you can use this workaround to get your microphone to work. Some of that worked for me. This is on a Lenovo ThipPad T520. I skipped to step 3 in comment #11 (no new kernel etc.) I changed the boolean values to true and also changed 0 to 80 (I am experimenting with values other than 80) then I executed "alsactl restore" the mic then works. it sounds very "tinny" and bad. (this is why I am experimenting with values other than 80) but it works. better than nothing. I also have to re-run alsactl after reboot (and, it seems, re-do the edits as well) This is progress. What would I change mine to? This is what I currently have: state.AK5370 { control.1 { iface MIXER name 'Mic Capture Switch' value true comment { access 'read write' type BOOLEAN count 1 } } control.2 { iface MIXER name 'Mic

alsa-info output after workaround procedure applied
With regards to my previous post, I found out after that the alsa configuration file (/var/lib/alsa/asound.state) is overwritten each time the system boots and the value associated with value.0 and value.1 is change from "true" to "false". Therefore, after /var/lib/alsa/asound.state is edited as outline in my previous post, a copy of the file needs to be saved. I saved this file as /var/lib/alsa/asound.state-good. Then I added the following line at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local
cp /var/lib/alsa/asound.state-good /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
then I added the line
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore
to ~/.bashrc. This avoids the need of having to manually editing the alsa config file and executing alsactl each time that the system boots. Note that sudo (ie root) is not required for the alsactl command (as I had indicated in my previous post. I tried put the "/usr/sbin/alsactl restore" command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local and in /etc/init.d/alsasound but this didn't resolve the issue; however, it works when I place this command in ~/.bashrc. I attached the alsa-info output I got after I applied the workaround procedure and got the microphone to work. I will also attach the alsa-info output I got before I applied the workaround procedure. If the "ALSA/HDA dmesg" section of the alsa-info report (the last section) is like my first attachment then you don't need to compile a custom kernel. If however, it is similar to that of my second attachment, you most likely need to compile a custom kernel. If so, then follow the instruction given in my previous post.

alsa-info output before workaround applied
Here is the alsa-info output before I applied the workaround, ie before I got the microphone to work.
Red Crayon, After editing /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and running alsactl, you can also use alsamixer to adjust the microphone control by running alsamixer -c0 -Vcapture and scroll through the different controls with TAB and use the UP and DOWN key to adjust the controls. John, In control.9, you can change the value associated with value.0 and value.1 from 0 to 4; in control.10, you can change value of these variables from 0 to 80; and in control 11, change the boolean value associated with these variables from false to true. Carlton, that worked, my internal mic works again! Any word on when a fix could be rolled out since we have found the cause and solution of the bug? I am also experiencing this after the latest updates on a T410 Lenovo Thinkpad on F16. Kayvan: I run the following shell script, as root, once per boot: /start shell script/ #!/bin/bash /bin/cp -cf /var/lib/alsa/asound.state /var/lib/alsa/asound.stat_b /bin/cp -cf /root/asound.state /var/lib/alsa/asound.state /sbin/alsactl restore alsamixer -c0 -Vcapture /end shell script/ then when the mixer pops up I reduce "mic boost" to 59, "internal mic" to 56 and "internal mic boost" to 56. then exit (Esc) It's a bit of a kludge, but it DOES WORK, every time The file /root/asound.state referred to in the script is the original /var/lib/alsa/asound.state but edited as described in the above comments (comment #11 in particular) HTH Created attachment 574368 [details]

Ping? Any thoughts from the maintainers? It looks like a fair amount of investigation into this has been done, so hopefully that's a good point for somebody more knowledgeable about ALSA to start from. I can confirm this on my Lenovo X201: Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) Subsystem: Lenovo Device 215e Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 44 Memory at f2520000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel Setting the /var/lib/alsa/asound.state values: control.6 { iface MIXER name 'Mic Boost Volume' value.0 0 --> 2 value.1 0 --> 2 ........ control.7 { iface MIXER name 'Mic Capture Volume' value.0 0 --> 80 value.1 0 --> 80 ........ control.8 { iface MIXER name 'Mic Capture Switch' value.0 false --> true value.1 false --> true ........ control.9 { iface MIXER name 'Internal Mic Boost Volume' value.0 0 --> 2 value.1 0 --> 2 ........ ... followed by 'alsactl restore' makes it work fine again (no tinny sound, a boost of 4 is too much ;) Please... can this be resolved quickly? November, honestly?! It's not the first "after-update-clash" I had with F16 and F15. F14 was way more stable with these things... :( is there a way the community can help? Thanks anyway's and good luck with fixing your issues ;) Chris I can't take this bug (I don't know enough about it), but i'm wondering if this is a a bug in the alsa code, or the kernel drivers itself. I think that the config is generated by alsactl store but the defaults are generated is from the driver. This is still a bug in Fedora 17 with the latest updates: Linux beast 3.3.4-5.fc17.i686 #1 SMP Mon May 7 17:45:26 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I think this should be moved to being a blocker, there is no excuse to have 2 releases in a row with broken microphones for some of the most popular laptops for Linux users. Could this be related? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752610 Seems to be fixed for me in F17. Working for me with latest updated F17 as well. Wasn't working in RC2 so it is fixed :) I can confirm that it's working for me too, on F17, on similar equipment (Lenovo x220), but the exact equipment on which I had the problem in F16 (T520), is still running F16. This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Still does not work, with kernel-3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64 and alsa-lib-1.0.27.2-2.fc20.x86_64 My microphone on my T530 in F20 and T520 on F19 are both working. So its been fixed for me at least I have T400. I'm running F19 on a T400 and it's working fine for me. As far as I remember it has been working for ages (at least F18 though). Well, it's not working for me. Two and a half year later, with kernel-3.14.0-0.rc5.git2.1.fc21.x86_64, the mic is still silent during recording. Tomasz: as this bug is closed, might be worthwhile raising another. Mic not working for me: After suspend, no input devices work. Had to hand-edit /var/lib/alsa/asound.state as described here https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/7591/internal-mic-not-working-thinkpad-t520-f16-x64/ f19 lenovo T520 kernel-3.13.9-100.fc19.x86_64 alsa-firmware-1.0.27-1.fc19.noarch alsa-lib-1.0.27.2-1.fc19.x86_64 alsa-utils-1.0.27.2-3.fc19.x86_64 alsa-tools-firmware-1.0.27-2.fc19.x86_64 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.27-1.fc19.x86_64 Still doesn't work, kernel-3.18.1-2.fc22.x86_64 As mentioned in earlier comments, it used to work for me with kernel up to 3.16. Now I'm using 3.17.6-200.fc20.x86_64 and it stopped working again. alsa-firmware: 1.0.27-2.fc20.x86_64 alsa-lib-1.0.27.2-2.fc20.x86_64 alsa-utils-1.0.27.2-4.fc20.x86_64 alsa-tools-firmware-1.0.27-3.fc20.x86_64 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.27-2.fc20.x86_64 I assume the kernel is to blame, because it used to work on F20 with earlier kernels. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'.
