You might need to pass a different model option during modprobe.

First check with 'aplay -l' to see precisely what chip you have, then put that number into the search box (lower left) on

You might need to advance again to unstable for the alsa packages, as hda-intel is seeing many changes.

Lenove/IBM Thinkpad T60p,

Hmm...  You had alsa working on this laptop two or three years ago?

Ok, I checked the bugs, I'm not really sure they help me much, but I did use the alsa-driver instead of the in-kernel stuff. I have my front mic (internal) sort-of working, it isn't called that, it's mixed with the external mic. Sound now comes out of both, but no apps seam to be able to use it. I noticed with gnome's sound recorder that it won't keep my input choice, it always sets it to something else, when wanting to see to what is was set right now, gnome recorder gave me this error msg when I ran it :

Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings.

This was due to my .asoundrc, copied from the howto on the gentoo-wiki, once removed gnome record works again, when I try to record it always want's tu use digital. I did notice something, I had the gnome volume control open also and when I recorded it toggles the audio capture from "Capture", if I untoggle it while I'm recording, it works, the mic's input is recorded. I tried playing with it, muting one, then the other, toggleing one, then the other, the only way I get anything to record is to use the digital as the recording source, and toggle capture once it's started to record.
