Okay, I was hoping not to have to reinstall but that did the trick. Thanks!
I had previously been running wubi Ubuntu 9.04 and then 9.10 on this laptop but was dismayed at the lack of microphone (and the overdriving of the speakers, though that wasn't as bad). Now I'm running a full install and with your fix the microphone and speakers seem to be working just fine. Thank you very much! Any chance this will be patched in permanently or does it break others' setups? -- [regression]snd-hda-intel sound input does not work at all with Conexant CX20549 (Venice) chips https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278648 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
