[alsa-devel] Cannot record from front pluggable mic on 82801H (ICH8 Family) sound card
Hi,
I'm working on a Dell 1525 and I want to plug a mic into the front mic port in order to have a "clean" record. But when it doesn't record anything, all I can have is the noise from the external mic. Is there any specific actions I forgot to do?
Here is my alsa-info output : http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a9066fcfe52fa0dd7d9bcd65214855c84592bd25
Thanks, Vincent

Hi,
I tried to install alsa-driver snapshot but I think I'm not enough skilled : I first uninstall alsa-lib, then I install the alsa-driver snapshot. When I try to (re)start alsa, I get this error: "/usr/sbin/alsactl: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" and a "sudo find / -name 'libasound*'" didn't return any result.
Did I do the right installation processus? What else can I try to help?
Thanks

Hi Vincent.
You don't have to uninstall alsa lib to upgrade the alsa driver. First reinstall the alsa-lib package, reboot, or restart alsa, and see if it's working now.
Post the output of cat /proc/asound/version, which will verify if the alsa driver is now the latest version (1.0.18a)
I also have an Archlinux install (Don't Panic). My hda intel card works ok with the 1.0.17 alsa driver. (ALC662 codec).
All the best.
Nigel.

Hi again,
I have now installed the alsa-driver snapshot in a right way. Here is my /proc/asound/version: "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.18a. Compiled on Jan 17 2009 for kernel 2.6.27-ARCH (SMP)." But I still can't record directly from the front plug. How do you configure alsa to do that? (I use alsamixer or the gnome volume controler)
Thanks

Hi Vincent.
Nice to see you now have the latest alsa driver installed. I'm not too clued up on mic problems, and my hda intel codec is different to yours (ALC662), so my alsamixer is going to show different controls to yours.
Anyway, be that as it may, my alsamixer shows 2 controls for the mic. Front Mic, and Mic, and both have switches to mute/unmute (M key toggles the mute/unmute). Logically for getting sounds out of the Front Mic, it needs to be unmuted, and the slider pushed up. Now you should get sounds from your speakers, when speaking into the mic (watchout for feedback, if the levels are too high).
Now press F4, and you should see alsamixers capture controls. Mine shows 3 controls. IEC958 (ignore that one), Capture, which has a slider, and beneath it a few dashes. To activate the control press the spacebar. The other control is for Input Source, and when on that control the up/down arrows will scroll through the source options. Mine shows, Mic, Front Mic, Line, and CD. If yours shows the same, I'd go for Front Mic. Push the activated capture slider up, and see if you can record anything from your Front Mic.
The model options for the STAC9228 codec, alsa driver snapshot, dated 20090118, are below. It may be worth trying them. You may find that some provide more controls on your alsamixer. Just add a line to /etc/modprobe.conf. Example below.
options snd-hda-intel model=ref (that I believe is the default line)

Rerun the alsa-info.sh script again, and run it as below, and attach the file saved in /tmp to your reply, as it may be usefull to Takashi. I'm not an alsa developer, but he is, and may have a suggestion which will resolve your problem.

All the best, and hope you resolve your problem.

I tried everything you said, but the problem remains. I tried to put a reference board in modprobe.conf but I get no output sound, sounds weird because on the archwiki page of the Dell 1525http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_Inspiron_1525there is the 3stack option... I attached the alsa-info.txt (with the 3stack option enabled). The alsa-info.sh generated an alsainfo folder, should I attached it?

It looks like your updates have updated the kernel to 2.6.28 since you installed the snapshot of the alsa driver, as your alsa-info.sh output shows alsa driver 1.0.18rc3. You will have to upgrade the alsa driver again for the new kernel. Alsa driver 1.0.19 is now available from the link below, so try that. http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page
You'll also need to run the alsa-info.sh script again, so that it shows the info retrieved when using alsa driver 1.0.19. You only need attach the alsa-info.txt file, not the alsainfo folder.
I must admit to being out of my depth with your problem with the front mic. It's no doubt worth trying the various model options again, once you've installed the 1.0.19 alsa driver against the 2.6.28 kernel.
Perhaps Takashi may have a suggestion to resolve your problem.
All the best.

He is using the same driver as me:

Mic will not work, even with 1.0.19.
Sorry ...
Hi,
Like Paulo Cavalcanti said, it does'nt work, even with the 1.0.19... Is there anything we can do in order to make this feature working?
Thanks, Vincent

You will have to upgrade the alsa driver again for the new kernel. Alsa driver 1.0.19 is now available from the link below, so try that. http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page
You'll also need to run the alsa-info.sh script again, so that it shows the info retrieved when using alsa driver 1.0.19. You only need attach the alsa-info.txt file, not the alsainfo folder.
I must admit to being out of my depth with your problem with the front mic. It's no doubt worth trying the various model options again, once you've installed the 1.0.19 alsa driver against the 2.6.28 kernel.
Perhaps Takashi may have a suggestion to resolve your problem.
All the best.
He is using the same driver as me:

Mic will not work, even with 1.0.19.
