Comment 63 for bug 449855

I confirm this bug still alive...

lsb-release :
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS"
uname -a = Linux ... 2.6.32-34-generic #77-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 13 19:40:53 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

 I've tried installing linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid without any improvment, from audio manager mic is not available.

It seems something has changed after selecting, from pulseaudio volume control panel - configuration tab "Analog surround 4.0 output + Analog stereo input" ...it seem mic is working with speaker audio too... but with a bad quality, sound is somewhat cawing...
I've faced another drawback as well, skype often hang after trying an echo test or simply closing it... if I come back at normal audio confiuration nothing matter and no more drawback.

I hope this annoying issue will be fixed, thx in advance.

Let me know, If I can help in some way...
