Hello,

I've been trying in vain to get the internal mic working on my new Dell Latitude E5510 laptop.
Sound works fine, soundcard is detected as IDT 92HD81B1X5, relevant codec is selected in the kernel config.
Also external mic when connected to the jack works like a whisper.

Here is some info:

Code:
~ # lspci |grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Ibex Peak High Definition Audio (rev 05)


Code:
~ # lspci -k
...
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Ibex Peak High Definition Audio (rev 05)
        Subsystem: Dell Device 0428
        Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
        Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
...

In alsamixer, I get the following for -ALL- selected:
http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~tsogkas/alsamixer.jpeg

I've tried various ways of loading the alsa-related modules via /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf. Currently I have
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=ref


If I leave it to auto, it complains that it can't find the exact chip or something and it will guess for probing. This works the same: sound is fine, NO mic though :x

When trying to record via gnome-sound-recorder, all I get is static when 'Digital' is not at vol=0. When this 0, I get nothing recorded, no matter the recording input I choose.

I'm out of ideas with this, any thoughts?

I've tried all of them, still no go.

Mic doesn't record or play anything. Under Windows mic works as expected :cry:

Any more ideas?

------------------UPDATE:

ok, options snd-hda-intel model=dell-s14 in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf seems to have done the trick.

Internal mic now works :D

Thanks!
