Good news! Managed to duplicate Juan's suspend/restore solution. What I did:
1) Updated BIOS to 1102 (not sure if this step was needed, since I never tried step 2 before) 2) Followed these instructions for the latest drivers: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules 3) Reboot, suspend & resume now enables the microphone. Comments: *No PulseAudio installed. *Alsamixer now shows my chip as 'Realtek ALC269VB' (used to say ALC259). *Microphone works fine in Audacity and Skype. -- 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
