cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.20-git20090729. Compiled on Jul 28 2009 for kernel 2.6.27.25-0.1-default (SMP).
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound #STAC92HD71B* options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1 position_fix=2 options snd slots=snd-hda-intel # u1Nb.ztWiP1hTtl5:82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
1) The two first mixer sliders are both labelled "Front". The first one is in fact the "Master" and the second one controls the volume of the built-in Speakers. (Note: dell-m4-3 has correct labels "Front" and "Speaker", albeit "Speaker" being the last slider instead of the second, but working just as well.) 2) No matter how I set the sliders in the mixer, the external speakers connected to the docking station line out remain silent. Plugging my external speakers into the laptop's own line-out activates them and disables the built-in speakers (as expected). 3) Switching between built-in mic and a mic plugged into the laptop's own line-in works as follows: For built-in mic, must select DigitalInputSource=DigitalMic1 and InputSource=FrontMic. For external mic, must select DigitalInputSource=AnalogInputs and InputSource=Mic. The Mux sliders must be up for AnalogInput. InputSource2 does not seem to have any effect whatsoever. DigitalInputSource=Mixer never allows any mic to work, I tried all combinations. 4) I guess that the label "Captuer" is a misspelling of "Capture" in both dell-m1 and dell-m3? 5) I cannot experience any difference between dell-m1 and dell-m3 now, except for the Front/Speaker-slider as noted under 1) and two additional buttons "IEC958" and "IEC958 Default PCM" which do not have any noticeable effect. I hope this helps! (Please note that I am blindly trying all sorts of combinations in KMIX and just see whether Amarok plays or whether a SkypeTestCall works. I have absolutely no idea what the "Mux", "Mixer" and "IEC958" settings ought to do. I would thus appreciate a link to some documentation (I did not find anything relevant in the ALSA-documentation myself), in order to be more helpful.) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
