Internal mic problem - Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family)
 

Hi,

I am having problems with this audio device. The sound works perfectly, but the internal mic doesn't work. External mic works perfectly too.

My hardware:

I'm using KDE 3.5.9 ...

I tested compiling the package alsa-driver version 1.0.18a, and with the alsa-driver inside the kernel (2.6.30). In both cases the sound works but the internal mic doesn't work. I used the standards configurations.

Any help is welcome ...

Thank's ...

How to make microphone work!
 

The only solution to make microphone work is to install linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic...

Just go to:

Menu / System / Administration / Synaptic Package Manager

And search and mark for installation:

linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic

tip: if you have multiple versions click on the first and read the description which should inform what name to install...

If after the reboot and mic mute is off, still does not work, just go to terminal and type:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

and add or change the following:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto enable=yes

Then Ctrl+X, type Y to write and exit, reboot and mic will work.

Bye and have lots of fun with Ubuntu (the best).

You realize that this thread is three years old, and that the OP is running Gentoo? No apt-get, no Synaptic, no backports repository. In short, your solution will at least partially not work.
