FWIW, here's my situation. Just updated today. Versions are: Ubuntu Maverick 2.6.35-24-generic alsa-base 1.0.23+dfsg-1ubuntu4 (Alsa only - I don't have pulseaudio nor jack nor any Gnome/KDE audio-related stuff installed.)
The computer is an ASUS 1001PX-BLK033S. The internal mic does not work from a cold boot. After I suspend to RAM and restore, it just works. I am using Audacity to test it. Doesn't matter if I set the input to stereo or mono under "Preferences"; both seem to work, but only after a suspend-restore cycle. If set to mono, Audacity only picks up the left audio channel; if set to stereo, picks up the same signal on both left and right channels. No noticeable noise other than the CPU fan. So, after a suspend-resume everything looks OK. However, If I plug an external mic then, the computer believes it is a speaker and disables the internal speaker, but the internal mic still works. So, plugging an external mic does not work yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580183 Title: asus eeepc 1001px in/out jack not functionnal and screen microphone -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
