slight update and a work around for skype this is on an aspire one but its similar enough to help I think
in /etc/modules I added the line snd-hda-intel model=acer there are a number of alternative models that may help the difference largely is the availability of a connector for inputs which will exist in some configurations but not in others when you select sound preferences. not sure if its needed in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf My real issue was and is skype since it doesnt allow the selection of input in its preferences and at best I could only get a very very low output from the internal microphone. As a work around for skype may I suggest you launch skype with this command /bin/sh -c "PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1 skype" Skype will not be able to connect to the pulse server and will fall back to alsa allowing hda intel, ALC268 Analog (hw,0,0) to be selected. I hope this helps, at least it is an improvement over uninstalling pulseaudio. -- Internal microphone doesn't work on Asus eeePC 1005HA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449855 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
