Unfortunately this is an Ubuntu bug report forum (as in, a place to provide information useful to Ubuntu developers in fixing bugs in Ubuntu). It's not a general support forum for Ubuntu, and also isn't either a bug report forum or support forum for Debian.
You should search for your problem at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ and if you do not find it, report it there. For what it's worth, the external microphone seems to work fine with standard Ubuntu 8.04 builds of software: linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic (Ubuntu build 2.6.24-16.30) alsa-base (Ubuntu build 1.0.16-0ubuntu4) alsa-utils (Ubuntu build 1.0.15-3ubuntu2) -- 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 subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
