Binary package hint: linux-image-generic

The x300 has two sound capture interfaces: analog mic jack and built in digital mic.

One thing that works is using the analog mic jack and OSS capture method.

If I choose the Alsa capture method, there are some problems. The first problem, is that the default gnome volume control tracks do not include anything to do with internal mic. After turning these on and enabling anything to do with the internal mic, unmuting capture, etc, the recording produces really strange behavior. Using sound recorder, a couple seconds after pressing record there is already almost 10 minutes of data captured, and the data is all silence.

The installed kernel is linux-image-2.6.27-4-generic
