Your ALSA information is located at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ff...ebc1f20a59237f
Please inform the person helping you.
johnf@linux-v0t5:~> rpm -qa | grep alsa
alsa-1.0.20-30.1
alsa-utils-1.0.20.git20090620-1.8
alsa-driver-kmp-pae-1.0.20.20090711_2.6.25.20_0.4-1.1 |
Frankly, I do not know enough about alsa to know how well it will function with such a minimal install of alsa. If it were me I would also have installed alsa-firmware, alsa-oss, alsa-tools and possibly alsa-plugins.
Also, some questions on your mixer:
!!-------Mixer controls for card 0 [Intel]
Card hw:0 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xf7ff8000 irq 22'
Mixer name : 'Analog Devices AD1989B'
Simple mixer control 'Front Mic',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [-34.50dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [-34.50dB] [on]
Simple mixer control 'Front Mic Boost',0
Capabilities: volume
Front Left: 0 [0%]
Front Right: 0 [0%]
Simple mixer control 'Input Source',0
Items: 'Mic' 'Front Mic' 'Line' 'Front Line' 'CD' 'Aux' 'Mix'
Item0: 'Mic'
Simple mixer control 'Input Source',1
Items: 'Mic' 'Front Mic' 'Line' 'Front Line' 'CD' 'Aux' 'Mix'
Item0: 'Mic'
Since I can not see your hardware, I can not tell what the difference is between the mic and front mic.
What test are you continuing to use for this?
I recommend a simple test like:
arecord -d 10 myrecording.wav
where "-d 10" specifies a 10 second recording.
Have you tried to manually tune your AD1989B in your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file (in case it was not properly identified and configured during boot) ? I note this from the HD-Audio-Models.txt file for 1.0.20 of alsa:
Code:
AD1988/AD1988B/AD1989A/AD1989B
==============================
6stack 6-jack
6stack-dig ditto with SPDIF
3stack 3-jack
3stack-dig ditto with SPDIF
laptop 3-jack with hp-jack automute
laptop-dig ditto with SPDIF
auto
For example, from that list, to test with "6stack" you could change the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file to:
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=6stack
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
restart your pc, and then test your mic.
If "6stack" does not work, you could try each of the other times in the list, one at a time, in a similar fashion to "6stack". Ie to try "3stack" , one would change the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file to
[CODE]options snd-hda-intel model=3stack
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
Try each option from the list.
