Hello I have very same configuration of HW and problems. With Gutsy I was able to make the external microphone work by adding

options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 model=5stack (have to try this trick for Hardy yet, can someone tell me what is actually means and where should I digg more info about that?)

to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base. Now I upgraded to Hardy Alpha and none of the microphones work (there is also integrated one next to the webcam which I would love to have working). I believe there is a lot of users with this bug, so please try to guide me to solve this.

I am going to attach my logs as I found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems

It would be nice if some dev/ advanced user can tell me what is actually wrong. I have several microphones in my gnome Volume control applet (Capture, Capture1, Capture2, Digital) none of them works and I have no idea what it means.

I will try to be as responsive on this bug as I can.
