If I understand correctly, the chips use same subsystem ids, so the patch does not automatically detect the correct chipset. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can help with this? The patch names the internal mic as Int Mic and external mic that can be plugged in as Ext Mic.

The environment where the testing was done is running Ubuntu 7.04 with alsa version 1.0.13. Only updated component is the kernel.
