It looks like you have two sound devices? And HDA ATI SB and an HDA ATI HDMI ? Or is that just a characteristic of your motherboard, where HDMI is a digital audio?

Make certain you check your mixer thoroughly … I note:

amixer set 'Front Mic',0 87%,87% on        
amixer set 'Front Mic Boost',0 33% 33%        
amixer set 'Line',0 97%,97% on        
amixer set 'Mic',0 100%,100% on        
amixer set 'Mic Boost',0 33% 33%        
amixer set 'Capture',0 Capture 31 100% off Capture 31 100% off        
amixer set 'Capture',1 Capture 0 0%,Capture 0 0% on        
amixer set 'Input Source',0 Items: 'Mic' 'Front Mic' 'Line' Item0: 'Mic'        
amixer set 'Input Source',1 Items: 'Mic' 'Front Mic' 'Line' Item0: 'Mic'

You have a choice between two Input Mic sources: Mic or Font Mic. Ensure you have the correct one selected.

For your MS-7367 you could also try editing your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file to see if that helps…

From the ALSA-Configuration.txt files, the possible options for an ALC888 are:

ALC883/888
3stack-dig 3-jack with SPDIF I/O
6stack-dig 6-jack digital with SPDIF I/O
3stack-6ch 3-jack 6-channel
3stack-6ch-dig 3-jack 6-channel with SPDIF I/O
6stack-dig-demo 6-jack digital for Intel demo board
acer Acer laptops (Travelmate 3012WTMi, Aspire 5600, etc)
acer-aspire Acer Aspire 9810
medion Medion Laptops
medion-md2 Medion MD2
targa-dig Targa/MSI
targa-2ch-dig Targs/MSI with 2-channel

Given you have an MSI with a digital output, I suspect the "targa-dig" is most applicable to you.  So try an edit to your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file that looks like:

options snd slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-hda-intel

dP62.3eubOLksOn3:Radeon X1200 Series Audio Controller

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel

5Dex.Zgl4coiAuT0:SBx00 Azalia

alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=targa-dig

Then restart your alsa kernel module with  rcalsasound restart  and test your sound and mic.

I've never seen this dual snd-hda-intel combination before, so that is a very speculative guess on my part.

Thanks for your Reply.

But i setup my model with targa-dig and others models but i dont luck. :frowning:
My mother have HDMI but i dont use its.Could i try other things ? maybe ??

see you soon and thanks for your support.

I assume there were no errors when you tried this, because surely you would have told me about any errors? :confused:

Pay very very close attention to your mixer, as 95% of the mic problems are caused due to a mistake in one’s mixer.

You could try commenting out the HDMI in your /etc/modprobe.d/sound, and see if that makes a difference:

options snd slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-hda-intel
# dP62.3eubOLksOn3:Radeon X1200 Series Audio Controller
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
# 5Dex.Zgl4coiAuT0:SBx00 Azalia
# alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=targa-dig

Again, after saving the edit, restart alsa with “rcalsasound restart” then test your mic (and pay close attention to your mixer).

This is my last suggestion. If that does not work, then IMHO you need to write a bug report.

I hope you have been trying different applications, to ensure the reason you can not get your mic do work is not because you have your recording application misconfigured.

If you have not, then I recommend playing around with command lines like:
arecord -d 10 myrecording.wav
and
arecord -d 10 -f cd secondrecording.wav

where the -d 10 specifies the length of the recording in seconds, in this example 10 seconds ]

… or in the case of KDE there is also krec and krecord

Hello,

Sorry, but i can not answer him before, I have not had internet in my house. :frowning:

I have tried this, but it has not worked.

options snd slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-hda-intel

dP62.3eubOLksOn3:Radeon X1200 Series Audio Controller

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel

5Dex.Zgl4coiAuT0:SBx00 Azalia

alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel

options snd-hda-intel model=targa-dig

I try various methods to record but its not solution.(for ex.Krecord,arecord,skype…)

What things more Could i try to do?

Thanks for your support and sorry for my English. !

Try just the one kernel module:

options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
# dP62.3eubOLksOn3:Radeon X1200 Series Audio Controller
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
# 5Dex.Zgl4coiAuT0:SBx00 Azalia
# alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=targa-dig

Don’t forget to restart alsa afterward with rcalsasound restart

Again, I recommend you test with
arecord -d 10 myrecording.wav
and
arecord -d 10 -f cd secondrecording.wav
and NOT with other apps.

95% of the time, when it comes to a mic not working, the problem is the user’s mixer configuration.
