I've got an HP dv9000 laptop with Intel HD audio. There are built in stereo microphones in the display, as well as an external microphone input. I've tried audacity, cat /dev/dsp, ekiga, gizmo. None of them provide audio input using either the internal microphones or an external headset. I've checked alsamixer and the gain is set high and the microphones are not muted. Audacity allows me to select among the various input devices, but none of them register any audio input.
I suppose more of this would be make a less lame bug report: Linux ninja 2.6.21-1.3149.fc7 #1 SMP Fri May 11 12:12:11 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel options snd cards_limit=8 alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=0
Audio appears to be working in the updates-testing kernel 2.6.22.1-20.fc7. I still have two Int:Mic choices. One works and one doesn't, but at least that's input.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
