Comment 242 for bug 131133

On Dell D630 using backports workaround i.e. method G from Wiki, I still don't have external speakers working from the docking station headset jack. Only works if plugged directly into the D630's phone jack. As mentioned on the Wiki page, the internal microphone is still a problem with being way too soft and has noise on the playback.

Pertinent info is as follows when D630 is docked:

Here's my output from lshw:

Any idea what happened to the call for help directly to Mark posted earlier in this bug report? Any idea of an ETA to fix this without messing with backports as well as getting the latest ALSA release into Gutsy?
