What if you pass model=auto instead?

Takashi Thank you for your quick reaction to the bug post. When I pass model=auto, I have fewer options in alsamixer in the Capture page. The three input sources that could be set to mic/frontmic/line/CD are no longer present, leaving three capture sources. I used arecord again, with all three capture sources set to 100% but still no recording of my voice. The resulting recording is silent (when played back at 200% volume in vlc al you can hear is a slight hiss).

It looks like that the device gives only one mic pin, no matter whether internal or external, according to BIOS. And this wasn't initialized properly as the capture source. I fixed the driver code in the upstream. OBS multimedia:audio:KMP/alsa-driver-kmp repo contains the update KMP built from the snapshot tarball. Please give it a try later. Just install the KMP corresponding to your kernel version and flavor.

It's up now. Could you check?

Sorry that I didn't post sooner. I did install the patch early Saturday morning. Sadly I cannot report success. The vumeter in arecord still registers 0% when I attempt to record. I am attaching a new alsa-info.tx with my current configuration.

But to be sure, run like % arecord -Dplughw -fdat -vv foo.wav to skip PulseAudio. If the above doesn't work, try to figure out which pin is the mic pin. An easy way would be to use mode=test option. Then the driver will allow you to change each pin. Try to change the input pin mode, and input source, and record. -- 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.

Add a line like options snd-hda-intel mode=test

I have modified my options line to look like your example. Upon restart of the computer I received the following system message: "KDE detected that one or more internal sound devices were removed. Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices?" and then listing the following: "Capture: HDA Intel (ALC880 Analog) Output: HDA Intel (ALC880 Analog) Output: HDA Intel (ALC880 Digital)" I chose the "No" button. Also the command alsamixer gives the following message: "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory" and KMix now has no channels. -- 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.

OK, try like below (as root): rcalsasound stop modprobe snd-hda-intel model=test

I get the following error: FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop/updates/alsa/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Do you still get an error? Run alsamixer with -c0 option, BTW.
