For the capture settings, "digital" should be the first setting since its the master capture control,
You should keep this "Digital" control to 50%, corresponding to 0dB.
"front mic" controls the stereo built-in mic (good), "line" doesn't do anything(?), "mic" sets the mic jack (good), there are two capture volumes (capture and capture 1) and two "input source"s (line, mic, or front mic). I think there should only be mic or front mic unless there's someway to set the mic jack as "line in" somewhere else?
This is my question, too. The original patch mentioned about a line-in. I guess a prototype machine had it, but not on real machines.
I can now record from the built-in mic ("front mic") vs 1.0.20.
This seems to be a bit of a regression: the recording source labels are reversed. To record from the built-in mic I have to set the "input source" selector to "mic" instead of "front mic" and vice-versa for plugging in a mic. There doesn't seem to be any automatic switching of recording sources occurring. Both recording sources still work.
Are you sure that you are using the very latest one? Double-check the latest alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz.
