cannot capture pcm on intel 82801H (ICH8 Family) rev 03

[charly4711]

On a Toshiba M9 laptop with an Intel ICH8 chipset for audio, I can play audio by adding a module=XXX option to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base. I can even record from the microphone. I cannot, however, record from the PCM channel, i. e. sound I'm playing back on the laptop e. g. using rhythmbox, no matter what model I select (currently "basic"). It seems the module does not provide a way to feed PCM to the mixer as an input source. You can see my mixer settings in the attachment, but I've tried various permutations. On my gutsy machine with a different soundcard, I have a PCM recording channel for the OSS device, on this machine, the OSS device doesn't even display a "recording" tab, and the alsa device doesn't list PCM as an input source.

there is a high chance that the card just does not support recording directly from the PCM, none of my soundcards offer such an option, I can use artsrec to record directly from an input source though.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
