I got the microphone to work by adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-bios

This changed the sound preferences to have three options Microphone 1, Microphone 2 or Microphone 3.

Microphone 1 worked with skype and you can see the meter change when noise / voices are detected.

It would be nice if this worked without this mod ;) but at least there is now some info on how to get it working.

The required change is fairly trivial, but I'm uncomfortable with relying on the bios to Do The Right Thing. On the other hand, at the time (17 Dec 2007) the 3stack addition for this PCI SSID was applied, it was fairly common for the bios to be ... doing the wrong thing. So, we'll get this pushed to stable@ and upstream. Hopefully in three years vendors are less braindead.

SRU Justification

Impact: The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch.

The 2.6.32.21 upstream stable patch set is now available and contains fixes for this problem. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well.
