[Zara Noob]

Want to record with audacity but there is no voice input. With the rc2 upstream-kernel the microphone was working as it should; in the rc8 again no voice.

Can you test some of the newer release candidates[0] from rc3 up to rc8 to identify the exact rc where the regression was introduced? Once we know the last good and first bad kernels, we can bisect to find the commit that introduced the regression.

I am also having the same problem of microphone not working. Running ubuntu 14.04 with 3.15 rc7 kernel. My laptop is Asus X550LC
