[TravelMate 5310, Realtek ALC268, Pink Mic, Internal] Recorded sound is very noisy

[karaluh]

As in summary. The background buzz when using external mic is way too loud. The mic itself is ok, tested on another kubuntu box. Tested on Skype test call.

The 3.5.18 entry wasn't added to grub for some reason. I fixed it and booted the newest kernel, but it didn't fix the issue.
