Mic doesn't work in jaunty for VIA VT1708 High Definition Audio

[Alexander Fomichev]

On my HP 2133 there are no sounds from either built-in microphone or plug-in one. Sound output works fine. Audio device is VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10)
Additional details could be found in attached dmesg and lspci output logs.

I would recommend trying alsa 1.0.20. I use a Samsung NC20 with very similar hardware, if not identical, audio hardware and I can now use my microphone.

Thank you, Barry. But this didn't help.

In the HP SuSE release for HP model 2133, alsa works fine. I'm thinking about using alien to try to make a debi install from the SuSE REMs. Is this a bad idea? Anyone have a more direct approach? How about an easy and direct approach? I really don't want to install SuSE on my machine, instead of Ubuntu, but I need a working microphone.

I confirm this bug, mics do not work in this sound card in the hp 2133 and never worked since the begining with 8.04 hardy... this is my dad's netbook and he will install XP on it in a few days because he can not use skype to chat...

so, best regards,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Is this bug reproducible with the latest Lucid packages ?
Tanks in advance.

[daveinlaguna (dpahnos)]

Thanks for the message. I've installed the latest packages, and the bug
is still there. I can't find an audio driver that will work. The bug is
also in Karmic.
