6) :( Without the model option dell-m4-1, the built-in microphone does not work at all.
However, the docking station's line out works fine without the model option now.
Strange. As default, model=dell-m4-1 is chosen. It can't be a driver problem. Perhaps you have another model setup somewhere in /etc/modprobe.d/* file or /etc/modprobe.* files? I remember that I saw two entries in alsa-info.sh output.
7) :( Even with the model option dell-m4-1, input source2 does not work at all. In Kmix (since alsamixer does not show these settings now), I ticked the record tick box on both "Capture" and "Capture2" and put them both at 95%; and Mux and Mux2 at the 3rd highest setting out of 4 possible setting, but regardless which input source I select, only input source1 is heard. I do not recall input source 2 to ever work, though.
(However, I test recording via Skype Test Call Service. Given 3) below, how do I test it with a more reliable program?)
"Input Source 2" is for the secondary PCM stream. Using it is a bit tricky, so better to forget right now. So, it's no bug, too.
3) Also very odd: Skype is now automatically adjusting the slider "Digital Mic" and not "Capture" as it did before.
Maybe you are accessing "default" PCM in Skype, and I guess it's "Digital Capture", not "Digital Mic".
I did not change the Skype settings at all, the only thing that changed was the ALSA driver!
Yes, and Skype choses a strange thing. I know Skype is doing very strange things secretly that I can't know at all. It's no driver bug, as well. -- 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.
