internal microphone not working Acer one 522

[clevenp]

fresh install ubuntu 11.10 from live CD
acer one 522 2gig Ram

internal microphone is not working .... looks like there is a loop as it shows activity on the microphone line (bars are moving) but it is not recording sound

when using mute, the bar stops moving

Which program are you using to record?

[clevenp (philip-vancleven)]

I checked the sound preferences from the top menu bar (loudspeaker icon)
selected the input tab
selected the internal audio

the input level bar was moving erratically
moving the slider for input volume level made only marginal effect on the movement of the bar

when using the sound recorder application (setting to cd quality mp3) after the recording of 5 sec (counting to 5), I only can hear a lot of cracking noise (as if the signal is completely clipped ) but no counting

clevenp, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Christopher

I solved the problem by taking a driver from another acer device (found the
solution by googling on the mic problem)
Currently I will not upgrade my acer one to another Ubuntu version as I
don't like the user interface and how it sometimes hangs. Additionally I
have mighty problems with ubuntu > 10.04 on my dell 1520 (hangs after the
upgrade) and I am now testing the Linux Mint 12 release. Up to now I like
the Mint more than ubuntu (11.XX and higher) and my dell does not hang ...
sorry for my negative reaction

Philip Van Cleven

PS I adviced people to install ubuntu but after 10.10 I actually told them
to hold the upgrades and wait till I find a more easy UI and mint is
definitely a good candidate.
