We had both of those commits backported in vivid, but it seems they got lost when rebasing onto 4.0, so that accounts for the regression there.
In 4.1 the commits are there, but it seems this commit causes a regression: commit 82d6d8a4034a7480d582791763c89c328c2a8f0c Author: Takashi Iwai <ti...@suse.de> Date: Mon Jun 15 20:36:12 2015 +0200 ALSA: hda - Fix noisy outputs on Dell XPS13 (2015 model) I'll report this bug upstream. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Seth Forshee (sforshee) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1473560 Title: microphone regression on 4.1 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On my Dell XPS 13 9343, the microphone works fine with the vivid kernel. However, it does not work with the current 4.0 wily kernel unless I patch it with these commits: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit?id=e1e62b98ebddc3234f3259019d3236f66fc667f8 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit?id=f3b703326541d0c1ce85f5e570f6d2b6bd4296ec For unrelated reasons, I decided to try the wily 4.1 kernel found here: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel- team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/. The microphone doesn't work even though Leann Ogasawara confirmed that the above two patches are included upstream. Note I am running vivid userspace, the 4.1 wily kernel from the ppa, bcmwl-kernel-source from wily (since there is a dkms fix) and linux- firmware from wily.
