It's not a bug on alsa-driver... It's a bug on linux-image, but I cannot affect this project

Do you need some feedback about this bug

Hi Mathieu,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 531028

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Can you run http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh again, please?

You might want to try the fix from here:

#34 here worked for me:

  http://code.google.com/p/vaio-f11-linux/issues/detail?id=2&can=1

This requires using the HDA anayzer from here:

Great!
It works for my external mic, not internal ...
At least I can speak with skype ;)

thanks!
