I have a system with that chipset and there's a BIOS option to choose legacy vs. HD audio. I set it to legacy and the analog audio output work as expected. I haven't tried connecting a microphone to that system.
So does the microphone or Line In appear as a channel in the mixer on your laptop? What about a digital Line In?
This isn't a laptop, it's a desktop board. There are 6 analog jacks and both an optical and a coaxial SPDIF connectors. In KMix's Input tab there are 5 input sliders shown: - Front Mic Boost - Mic Boost - Capture - Capture - Capture The Output tab bears 17 sliders, including two pairs of Mic sliders (Front and main, each with a boost and level control). There is a digital IEC958 output slider, a few line input sliders, a CD slider and so on. The label at the bottom right of the window is "HDA Intel". Frankly, I don't understand all this stuff since my audio needs are quite simple. Apart from the fact that I like to use optical cable between my computers and my stereo, I don't do anything fancy with audio. (I prefer the optical audio connection 'cause I'm in an old building that doesn't have three-prong plugs and I've discovered there's quite a large voltage differential between the outlets where my computers are plugged in and the one where the TV and stereo are plugged in. That may be because there are two phases present within my apartment--there's an electric stove. At least with optical cable I don't have to worry about those big sparks I used to see and the shocks I occasionally felt!!)
I saw a post about the BIOS setting when I was looking for a solution, but my BIOS has no such setting (and I updated to the latest BIOS yesterday)
Just a thought, but have you explored your BIOS settings thoroughly? I often find them confusingly organized and frequently have a hard time finding things I know are their 'cause I've used them before!
