Bug Description
Hi,
I have a dell xps m1530 laptop with the following internal audio device:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
In hardy, sound recording from the internal mic works great, but in Ibex sound recording with the internal mic is very silent. I can't make it louder with the gnome volume control and alsamixer.
See https:/

Recording with the internal mic. on a Dell Vostro 1500 (Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family)) used to work in Hardy, but stopped working with Intrepid Alpha 6 in most applications.
Recording in Audacity works, but with the recording device set to OSS:/dev/dsp. Sound Recorder, Empathy, Ekiga, etc. (using Alsa) do not work.
When attempting to stop the recording Sound Recorder hangs for a long time before coming back to life, and recorded file is completely silent.
In the Volume Control applet, with the Device set to HDA Intel (Alsa mixer), the Recording tab shows all controls (Capture, Digital, Mux) with the audio recording toggled OFF (small red cross on the mic. icon under each vertical slider). Even after toggling the icon, it goes back to toggled off the next time the volume control is opened.
