I share your pain. I'm on hda-intel, 2.6.32, and ATIsbx00 (sb600 in my case)
with pci.id 1002:4383
Alsa automagically detects an Analog Devices AD1981 (pci.id 11d4:1981) and I
have no microphone. I too have entered a bug
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=4853
but I don't know if anyone except me has read it. I am trying to change the
identification, or even find an explanation of what they try to do. This old
box works reasonably well but the alsamixer screen reports
SiS SI7012
Chip: C-Media Electronics CMI9761A+
View: [Playback] Capture All
The SiS is right, the C-Media is way off. My problem box reports
ATI HDA Intel
Chip: Analog Devices AD1981
and I have no microphone. I lurk here looking for something relevant - but
nothing much happens.
