[alsa-devel] Fwd: Microphone not working on PCI ID 8086:3b56

[Jeff Chua]

Hi,

I'm having problem getting the microphone to work on the Lenovo X201s,
but the audio output is working fine.


It's showing up as:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset
High Definition Audio (rev 06)
       [00:1b.0 0403: 8086:3b56 (rev 06)]

I've alsa-plugins-1.0.23, alsa-utils-1.0.23, alsa-lib-1.0.23 installed.

alsamixer is showing Capture at 100%, Analog Mic Boost at 40db and
Digital at 100, but captured using "arecord" or "rec" and then
playback is all just dead silence!

Any pointers on how to make this work would be very much appreciated.


Thanks,
Jeff
