Comment 200 for bug 275998

@Rocko; If this is truly the case, then jaunty can never be fixed unless the driver is somehow provided in a backported way. It should be noted on the status I figure, including Karmic. Would there be anyway to get this into backports? I am not as involved as I would like to be with this project, so someone with more experience can possibly get this fix into backports if possible. I would like to see people have this problem resolved better than just upgrading to the next version. If the driver is the issue I hope we can have somebody compile the kernels with the new alsa, possibly, or one of us can have a ppa set up with the fix. I hope we can have a stable and fairly easy fix for people who are much less knowledgeable.

After looking at the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell/+bug/309508 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498612#c4 - I am wondering if the mic works for Intrepid using proposed? If that is the case, it would be great if that could get pushed into jaunty. The redhat link seems to me to be a hint towards bigbrovar's pointing out of the quote in the dell wiki. Although, I think I will have to take a better look at all of this new information after I get some sleep. Thank you Rocko and bigbrovar for being very informative. My only hope is that we can find a simple way to solve this issue and have it at the top with the initial report. Some of the info from Rocko would be nice to see at the top for now.
