Getting closer, but mic still not working.
Jeff, give always alsa-info.sh output when you want someone else looking into your HD-audio problem. Without it, it's very hard to follow what is wrong. So, the mic is detected. I guess you didn't set up the capture mixer and else properly.
Attached is the alsa-info output. I used alsamixer to set the Analog mic boost to 40db, and I can also see that alsa is detecting the external mic when I plug the mic in.
- ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_conexant.c:2354: CXT5066: external microphone absent
- ALSA sound/pci/hda/patch_conexant.c:2348: CXT5066: external
microphone detected Still no sound.
I just want to update you all now that I finally got the mic to work on my X201s. It's the settings in the BIOS. Unlike earlier Thinkpad models, the X201s BIOS has a special setting to enable/disable the mic. Bios setup: F1 -> Security -> I/O Ports -> Microphone -> Enable. Since I trashed Windows on the X201s as soon as I power up the first time that could have disabled the mic by default.
Now, it's all working.
Thanks for all you help!
Jeff.
