I just tried connecting a headset and switching to E-Mic. What I can say is:
- opposite levels does NOT happen there (E-Mic is "analog micro"-based, right?)
- leaving E-Mic unplugged will actually record from i-Mic (due to properly working EAPD mechanism, right?)
The record from mic-jack is via analog path. The phase-inversion appears only for digital-mic, AFAIK.
Thought so.
One question still: is this a hardware defect (i.e. could this possibly be swapped cables of the microphone connector in this model or so? Not plausible but...), or is this an existing property of the HDA's dig-mic base? You indicated it's the latter I think...
My guess is that it's a hardware implementation. Maybe for the noise suppression via mic array.
Not sure what this means.
The question is whether the left / right channels recorded from digital mic are really raw data, or they are for modified data (for differential, etc)... It's hard to guess without the actual data.
I don't quite follow you here. Is there anything I could do about this?
Thanks,
Andreas
What about exposing the i-mic as a mono only device to userspace? It is mono after all?
