i’ve just installed opensuse 11.2 (Gnome) on my Dell xps1530 and everything works well, i’m very happy BUT inbuild microphone doesn’t want to work! It’s the only bug,not so bad ;-)) but i need it…
Your title "no inbuild micro on xps 1530 " is NOT going to get you the attention you want. Its REALLY bad, and not descriptive at all. Users who specialize in sound will NOT think “micro” is a “microphone”. Rather they think “micro” is a “microcomputer”.
I know that I for one saw the title and deliberately ignored the thread. My view as that I have no idea as to what an “inbuild micro” is. I do know what an “integrated microphone” is.
I have social comitments tonight so I can not provide suggestions tonight.
I’m back from my social commitments. I took a look at the mixer settings documented in that script, and there are some settings I do not understand. Note that getting an internal mic to work can be difficult (as it may be a digital as opposed to analog, and you need to figure out which). Reference your mixer, please note:

When I look at the above I see you have “input source 0” set to “mic” (ie an external mic) and “capture 0” ON. But you have Mux0 at 0%.
No where in input source 0, nor input source 1, nor in input source 2, do I see digital mic selected. Its quite possible your internal mic is a digital mic.
IMHO you need to tune your mixer settings.
In kde that is typically done with kmix. I speculate in gnome its done with alsamixer or amixer.**
