Hi! I have been struggling entire day today to get my sound card up and running properly but with not luck. Running openSuSE 10.3 on AMD x64 on acer Aspire notebook. The sound output works perfectly OK but I struggle to get my microphone working. Initially I assumed it was Skype problem but then tried recording sound with krec and it fails as well. The sound card is (lspci): 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [8086:27d8 (rev 02)] And as it has been properly discovered by yast2 sound I am using Intel HDA driver module Because it is on Acer Aspire 5630 I have altered /etc/modprobe.d/sound to be the following: alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel # u1Nb.FPeEl_lypDB:82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=acer And it works OK: kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1b.0[A] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22 kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1b.0 to 64 kernel: ALSA /usr/src/packages/BUILD/alsa-driver-hg20080118/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2212: hda_codec: model 'acer' is selected As you can see the driver is also pretty up to date. I could not find many more clues for this specific problem as the card generally works and I have output via speakers/headphones. The most obvious would be to look in the mixer settings for Input but I have double-checked that levels are set to maximum and Mic and Capture is ON. I can also check the the mic itself works because if I go to Output mixer controls and turn the Mic on I can hear it well in the headphones (but that presumably only enables internal sound card routing of the signal). In the input channels I have: * Front Mic Boost * Mic Boost * Capture * Capture * Digital Though both Capture are enabled the level on it is always at the minimum but even if I turn it up and reopen the mixer it resets to zero. Any clues someone? I don't know where to look now.
