David,

I do have three mic inputs. One on the top of the monitor, one below the touchpad and one 1/4" input. The only mic that I have ever confirmed works is the one above the monitor.

Alsamixer shows two tunables, "Input Mixer" and "Input Mixer 1". Each of those items have the following values to choose from:
* Internal Mic (below touchpad, never seen work)
* Mic (never tested)
* Internal Mic 1 (above monitor)

Pulse shows the following values (which map to the values in parens in alsamixer on the "Input Mixer"):
* Analog Microphone (alsa => Mic)
* Internal Microphone (alsa => Internal Mic)
* Analog Line-In (alsa => Internal Mic)

Pulse does not change the second alsamixer "Input Mixer 1".

Switching between "Internal Microphone" and "Analog Line-In" does change some mixer levels, but not the alsa input.

Since there is no way for me to switch to "Internal Mic 1" via pulse, it makes it seem that I have no working mics.

Let me know how else I can help.

Thanks,
Joshua
