Thanks Péter, I've just gave that a try and didn't work. Is there a way that I could go about getting debug information from my sound card? I would like to know if this is a driver issue or if it's a hardware issue. On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 9:16 AM, Avramucz Péter <muczyjoe@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi!

Try model=hp, in /etc/modprobe.d/options: " options snd-hda-intel model=hp " Then reboot, or reload snd-hda-intel, of course.

Bye, muczy

Hey everyone, I've had this great HP laptop for the past 4 years with no need (of course there's always a want) to upgrade. And of all this time, I never had a problem with it, until now. Out of the past 4 years, I've never needed to use my microphone for anything, but lately I've been sent overseas a lot for work and needing to keep in contact, decided to start skype to call back home. That's when I noticed that my microphone didn't work at all. I thought it would be skype, but trying to use gnome-sound-recorder proved that to be wrong. Nothing is coming through.

I've tried running 'alsaconf' again, I've tried a huge number of .asoundrc setups, using different microphones, everything that I can imagine.

I'm out of ideas, would anyone have anything else I can try? Has anyone run into this problem before?

Thanks, Will
