Okay, I found a solution/work-around, although the fact that it stopped working seems to be caused by a regression via updates. Though I suppose the people experiencing it could have something else problematic in common. What I needed to do to get the internal mic working was run "sudo alsamixer", navigate over to "Digital Input Source" via the arrow keys, and press "+" to change it from "Analog Inputs" to "Digital Mic 1". Then everything was working again like it was a week or so ago! I believe then you need to run "sudo alsactl store" to make it stick. Attached is a screenshot of the alsamixer setting.
Any ideas on if anything in the sound stack changed recently that would change the "Digital" Input Source to use "Analog" Inputs? That setting doesn't even seem to make sense. ** Attachment added: "alsamixer.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33923678/alsamixer.png -- dell xps m1330 regression, integrated digital microphone no longer working [karmic beta] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
