[Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS 32-bit] No improvement on Lenovo G570's (Intel platform, Conexant CX20590) integrated microphone bug in v3.2.32-precise version of the kernel

[fpgahardwareengineer]

Hi,

Reading the change log of v3.2.32-precise, it said something like this,

ALSA: hda - Fix internal mic for Lenovo Ideapad U300s
ALSA: HDA: Add inverted internal mic quirk for Lenovo S205

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.2.32-precise/CHANGES

It sounds like something is being done to fix the Conexant CX20590 HD Audio CODEC integrated microphone bug, but when I just tested it with Skype 4.0, the microphone still doesn't work.
According to this bug report, Lenovo S205 has the same Conexant CX20590 HD Audio CODEC as Lenovo G570 (Intel platform).

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/807144

Speakers work fine, although the sound got somewhat choppy when I was moving the mouse cursor.
Maybe I was running too many programs on the background, or is it a performance issue?

Regards,
