no internal mic or jack sense on acer aspire 6530

[blu Jay]

I have updated to latest alsa (1.0.21) to attempt to fix this but to no avail. I am using ubuntu 9.04. The internal mic does not work at all and the speakers don't mute when headphones are plugged in(sond comes from headphones and speakers simultaneously. I have also reported this problem directly to alsa via their bug tracker.

1.0.21 is insufficient; you need to test the latest stable alsa-driver
snapshot.

Ok thanks Daniel as I am still testing Ubuntu on this system I will do a fresh install and give you feedback on those alsa drivers.

[blu Jay (gordon-hammond)]

Ok so I have reinstalled and am now using alsa 1.0.18 from the distro just waiting for some help with question 85731 and I should be good to go with the new bug-attachments thanks again for your help

[blu Jay (gordon-hammond)]

sorry about spamming like this but I have created a new bug as was suggested in question # 67478 the new bug can be found here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/450634 sorry about the run around.

[blu Jay (gordon-hammond)]

I seem to have finally gotten this sorted with a fresh install of 9.10 and removing pulseaudio using. http://n2.nabble.com/Re-Ubuntu-s-switch-to-pulseaudio-broke-accessibility-for-the-blind-td3886061.html
Well some of it anyway I just used step 1 eradicating the evil. Jack sense now works allong with the internal mic.
