Comment 149 for bug 318942

LiamG,
I don't think just having run that would take you off deb-threads. You have checked the "Preferences" panel in the "Volume Control" dialog and "Import0 Mux" isn't there, yes? If not, I'm not sure where it's gone. I'm running the HP Mini 1000 1030NR, it may be that you have a slightly different model... I'm not sure what else it may be.

coCoKNIght, thanks so much for following up, that worked!

To flesh coCoKNIght's solution out a bit more. You'll want System->Preferences->Multimedia Systems Selector (if you don't see it, check in System->Prefences->Menu).

Under the "Default Input" heading, make sure that Plugin reads "ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" and that Device reads "STAC92xx Analog" (or some such).

Interestingly, the "Default" device setting seems to be working for Output, but not Input. It would seem that a fresh installation for HP Mini 1000 1030NR, 2.6.28-13-generic kernel does work, but requires you to fidget with what are, to me, inobvious settings.

It is too bad that we can't move these fidgets somewhere more visible on this Bug List so people wandering in for the first time will try them before mucking about with install-from-source.
