Unhappy Microphone Problem on Ubuntu 10.04 on Fujitsu lh531


Hi,
I have a Fujitsu LH531, with Ubuntu10.04 installed. It has an internal microphone, and a microphone socket.
sound card:
Realtek ALC269
Intel ID 2805
My microphone doesn't work at all!
I checked AlsaMixer and other sound controls before.

Pls Help Me!

Hello,

See here for configuring your sound card in Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
Also, see here - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/585858
This is/was a common bug; Let me know if the information I have provided works for you.

Cheers,

Hello,
everything depends on the hardware. But you may have a try:
run
Code:
gstreamer-properties
command and in the "Audio" section in "Default input" (I hope it's called so in English version) choose module "Pulseaudio Sound Server".
It helped me with integrated sound cards based on Intel ICH7 chipset.

And then you may have to chose an apropriate microphone device in your sound properties window.

@Josh:
Thanks for ur attention.
I saw the Ubuntu Bug before,but it didn't help me.
I did the instructions in Ubuntu Help, I looked for ALC269 in Models, and within the list:
basic Basic preset
quanta Quanta FL1
eeepc-p703 ASUS Eeepc P703 P900A
eeepc-p901 ASUS Eeepc P901 S101
fujitsu FSC Amilo
lifebook Fujitsu Lifebook S6420
auto auto-config reading BIOS (default)
I think it should be "lifebook" for my laptop.(Fujitsu Lifebook LH531)
after changing the model and reboot, mic still doesn't work and only built-in speakers work, and sockets was disabled!
did I choose the right model?!

Thanks for reply.
I changed the default input to "Pulseaudio Sound Server" and there was 3 choices for device, Default and 2unknown! I tried them, but none of them work!
Is it necessary to reboot?

the outputs in terminal:

gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'artsdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdsink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'glimagesink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'sdlvideosink'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'v4lmjpegsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'qcamsrc'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon'

No need to reboot.
Stay away from pulseaudio, it's crap.
Try to run alsaconf as root.

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).
