I had this problem on my vostro 1500 with fiesty installed but didn't bothered to fix it. When I installed gusty the sound was gone as well. Fixed the sound with help from this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell/+bug/131133. Quite long thread but the solution is more or less install linux-backports-modules-2.6.22-14-generic. Note: it isn't enough with the linux-backports-modules only.
Then to the mic problem that was a easy solution. Just right cllick on sound icon in to right corner open edit -> preferences and check everything playback tab unmute all and raise volume recording tab unmute all and raise volume switches tab uncheck everything options tab choose digital mic 1 as Digital input Source This works fine for me and as far as I know I don't have a digital mic? I use a koss sb/45 headset. But still it works for me. good luck /Peter -- Capture quality problematic on Dell Latitude D630 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
