Comment 49 for bug 42600

Ok, I cannot make the mic register anything with ubuntu hardy up to date. dell xps 1530 but this is a generic and long-standing (see bug 37736) hda intel driver issue, at least in ubuntu.

I attacch a screenshot of any possible control I have in latest ubuntu (alsamixer, gnome sound applet and pulseaudio) that shows that the mic seems to actually get some signals but at a very slow volume and actually nothing is reproduced after the recording.

Anyone has some tip?
