The internal microphone on my Toshiba SatelliteP505D-S8935 laptop also did not work .
I installed the latest upstream kernel as suggested by Jeremy Foshee in post # 14
and the mic now works .
Note that I also installed Gnome Alsa Mixer which allowed me to choose from the 4 mics which now shows up .
The gnome volume panel applet does not give any indication of the extra mics so make sure and install Gnome Alsa Mixer.
Hello to all concerned ,
