Front MIC is working

I'm managed to get my front MIC working.. Not to sure how but it does

I've installed 2.6.30-2-generic kernel and changed a few settings in the audio preferences..

Now it works

If there is anything specific you want me to post, please let me know

 

Hey Tomt,

What are the settings that you changed? What is the os and the hardware you are using? I have an aspire one D250 and I would like to get the front mic to work. At the moment I can only use the mic when I plug it in the jack, the front mic is not working. I am using Ubuntu Netbook Remix Jaunty.

Hi

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on my Acer D150

I installed the 2.6.30-2-generic kernel and went in the audio properties / recording, un muted the front MIC and it works !!

 

Hi TomT,

Sorry to be a newb but how do I go about installing the new kernel? is it an apt-get thing? or do I have to use the command line, I don't mind doing either.

Thanks

Hey tomT ,

I went here and downloaded this http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/ma ... 4_i386.deb and installed it. Everything was fine but the front mic was still not working.. not too sure what i did wrong. I did notice that there is an additional switch in the volume control where i could choose front mic or internal mic. Tried to record and it did not work on both front. I reverted back to the original kernel 2.6.28-11-generic.

The wired ethernet needed to be complied and I was not able to do that for the new kernel. I guess I have to carry around a mic if I want to use skype. I'll look on to see how I could solve this.

Must admit I didn't try the wired Ethernet as I only use wireless.
I set it to use the front mic, then went into preferences and selected capture / recording.

I got a new tab 'recording' that showed the front mic as muted. I un muted it and it works !!

 

Thanks TomT,

I think I will hold off until the kernel leaves the release candidate stage.

Cheers

Hi

Just tested the wired ethernet on my D150 using this kernel and it works fine..
Many be you have a different chipset !!

 

Hey tomT,

Seems that way..
