Hi,
I've solved that problem. Feel free to publish it. The problem is that alsamixer doesn't show all the necessary options to turn mic on.
Thus I've installed the gnome alsa mixer and change the settings in the following way: http://student.agh.edu.pl/~gonciarz/temp/gnome_alsa_mixer.png
The microphone works but it creacks a little bit. It doesn't on Windows XP.

Hi, I'm trying to activate a microphone (I have just external one) in my HP NX7300 (RU374ES) notebook (it has two jacks without internal mic) for six months. Alsamixer says that it's AD1981 chipset.
The sound works great execept two things:
- it's too silent when I set almost the maximum level (if you compare it
with Windows XP driver) - but it's not so bad. It is said that a tothem can change some hidden settings to make it louder.
- the microphone doesn't work even though I setted it in alsamiser (the
settings: <capture tab> the "Mic" is red, "Mic boss" is setted with 67/67, "Capture" 80/80, Mix is blue and "-----", "Digital" 62/62, "Docking-" is blue and "----", "Internal" 67/67. The mic doesn't capture any voice at all.
I was trying to load the module with different names: default, hp and toshiba works but the mic still doesn't work.

It was tested with snd-hda-intel module from the lastest sources from your website: alsa-driver-1.0.16rc2.
I'm using 2.6.24.1 kernel. At the begining I tried to compile the kernel with a module which was included to it (it was working without a mic) and then I compiled the external module from your web.
Hi Robert. I have NX6325, it has same sound card (AD1981HD), but different chipset (I have AMD processor). Take a look at description of my problem in links below.
