Comment 4 for bug 369460

I have just tried a new install of Ubuntu 9.10 on a T60p (same laptop, my original post is actually incorrect; this particular laptop is a T60p type 8744-J2U), and audio recording is still broken out of the box, and at this point the audio settings application is so different that no information online seems to even remotely apply. Everything still works fine under Windows, still broken in Ubuntu.

Noticed that an *external* microphone works just fine. The buit-in *internal* microphone is muted. It actually seems like the audio driver is not recognizing that there are two audio devices and is presenting the user with adjustment for only the one external port, not the internal one (the mic that 99.9% of users would use, since it seems rather silly to carry an external microphone for a laptop that already has one).

Has this bug been set as "Invalid" ? Why no explanation for this change? Did I enter the bug in the wrong place? Is there someone else I should bother about it? Is there any more information I can provide that would help?
