Description Matthew Saltzman 2010-07-19 20:02:56 UTC
Description of problem:
There is no sound detected from the internal mic on this machine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
alsa-lib-1.0.23-1.fc13

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open volume control and turn mic all the way up
2. Make Skype test call
3. Open cheese and record some video
  
Actual results:
No distinguishable activity on the sound meter in the volume control app. 
No sound recorded in Skype test call.  No sound in cheese video. 

Expected results:
Some indication that sound is being detected in the volume control VU meter.  
Recorded sound played back by test call.  Sound played back in cheese video.

Additional info:
External mic plugged into the external mic jack works fine.

I've seen posts to online groups suggesting that the internal mic is part of the internal webcam.

Same problem with Dell Vostro 1220 with audio Intel 82801I Conexant CX20583 (Pebble HSF). 

Mix was working fine on F12 (x86_64) and after upgrade to F13 Mic doesn't work any more.

Comment 2 Arnaud Kleinveld 2010-09-02 03:45:03 UTC
I solved it for my Dell Vostro by creating the file:

/etc/modprobe.d/snd_hda_intel.conf

with the line:

options snd_hda_intel model=dell-vostro

Comment 3 Matthew Saltzman 2010-09-05 15:31:53 UTC
I found at a Ubuntu forum that for the Latitude E6410, the correct entry is

options snd_hda_intel model=dell-s14

Now all we need is for this to be detected automatically.

See also bug 628003.

Comment 5 Thomas Langvann 2010-11-26 09:52:25 UTC
Problem still exists in F14, and the solution from comment #3 fixed it for me (E6410)

Comment 6 Reinout van Schouwen 2011-04-27 12:27:04 UTC
I can't reproduce the problem in F15 beta.

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2011-06-01 13:25:52 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'.

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 13'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 13 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 8 Matthew Saltzman 2011-06-01 13:53:39 UTC
Updated to version 14, per comment 5.  I haven't tried F15 yet.

Comment 9 Jan Vcelak 2011-09-16 21:39:23 UTC
Not resolved on F15 with Dell E6510.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 18:28:58 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.
