Comment 17 for bug 42600

I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy and unable to use mic. on my 630m as well. I'm reading information at http://perseverantia.com/index.php?p=429 but I feel pretty lost. I just don't know how to implement a workaround. People are talking about recompiling kernel modules from source, etc. and it's just a little beyond me right now.

I've found instructions on HOW to recompile, but I'm not sure how/where to download the latest driver from. Then once I download it, do I need to modify it and then plug it back into the kernel? I'm just not sure the process.

Can someone give me a couple tips to get started trying a workaround or a recompile or whatnot? :) I'm generally good at computers, just new to Linux!
