Wrong capture settings by default on hda-intel ICH7 and ICH6

[Tormod Volden]

I am running edgy beta live, and the sound recording does not work out-of-the box. I have to go in the mixer preferences and add the capture channels, then in the mixer disable Capture 1 and Capture 2, so that Capture can work from the connected microphone.

00:1b.0 0403: 8086:27d8 (rev 01)
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)

Here are the original settings. The capture volumes are all zero, and they are all switched on.

gnome-sound-recorder insists on using Capture2 if they are all enabled. Even if I select Capture, it jumps back to Capture2 when I click Record. Only if I disable Capture2 and Capture1, I can use Capture.

I have the exact same problem on a laptop with this card:

Is this still occurring on 7.04 Herd 2?

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Yes, it's the same in herd-2 as before.

Please attach at least ``lspci -vvn'' (see wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems) from affected machines.

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Same problem in Herd-4. Here are the default settings. The mixer is a "Realtek ALC880".

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

Unfortunately this bug report is being closed because we received no response to the last inquiry for information. However, the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta release was most recently announced - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . If you are able to confirm this is still an issue with this most recent release please feel free to reopen this report. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks.
