Mic not working on HP 6830 with ubuntu

Broder · 04-15-2009, 12:43 PM

As explained above. Have got the levels set ok on alsamixer and output of /etc/modprobe/options is:

Quote:

# Enable double-buffering so gstreamer et. al. work
options quickcam compatible=2

# Default hostap to managed mode
options hostap_pci iw_mode=2
options hostap_cs iw_mode=2

# Stop auto-association.
# LP: #264104
options ipw2200 associate=0

# XXX: Ignore HPA by default. Needs to be revisted in jaunty
options libata ignore_hpa=1
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop enable=1 index=0

The last line being a fix for no speaker sound, see previous post

Any help would be appreciated.

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).
