Hi,
After one of the latest kernel update to opensuse 11.1 64 bit, I’ve started to have capture sound problem with builtin microphone of my laptop. It continues with latest opensuse 11.2 64 bit. I’ve volume up everything from mixer, yast’s sound option, configure desktop’s multimedia options, but nothing works.
According to that script you have your internal mic switched OFF.

Hi, my internal mic’s playback is off on my kde’s gui mixer. I have no digital device (spdf) connected on my laptop. If that digital output means that. Doc means is most probably for a docking station that can be attached to the laptop, but I don’t have. The mic on skype works when I set the divices like in the snapshot.
In your previous post, if I read it correctly, you stated NOTHING works. Now you are stating skype works.
I have no idea what your problem is now. In what application does your mic not work, given it works with Skype.
Did you try the sample arecord:
arecord -vv -fdat foo.wav
I see you have forced the model option to “laptop”. I checked the allowable options for an AD1984A and came up with:
AD1884A / AD1883 / AD1984A / AD1984B
====================================
desktop 3-stack desktop (default)
laptop laptop with HP jack sensing
mobile mobile devices with HP jack sensing
thinkpad Lenovo Thinkpad X300
The problem was silent mic recording tone. I figured out that problem on skype. With the above setting on skype, I can use my internal mic with a silent recording voice, the other options on skype don’t even record my voice via the internal mic on my laptop.
According to your suggestion, I tried all the options you wrote (Can you also write the source where you find that available options to my sound card?)
AD1884A / AD1883 / AD1984A / AD1984B
====================================
desktop 3-stack desktop (default)
laptop laptop with HP jack sensing
mobile mobile devices with HP jack sensing

When I use “mobile”, I got the recording voice that I wanted and realized that “Digital” , “Capture” and of course “Internal Mic Capture” allow to arrange recording volume in KMix. However, yast’s sound volume setting just offer Master, PCM and Beep. Thanks for helping now I don’t have shout while taling on skype
