Internal microphone not working when on battery

The title says the main problem. When I'm plugged into the power, the microphone works perfectly. Then I unplug it, it works for several seconds (trying arecord and aplay several times), then after that it doesn't work anymore. The sound output still works.

Obviously I thought it was laptop-mode, but when I disabled laptop-mode and try the same procedure it still has the same problem. When I plug the power back in, it doesn't automatically go back, but I have to restart alsa daemon (and when I do, everything works once again).

Has anyone come across this or similar issue?

Btw my netbook is Acer Aspire One 722

Thanks for reading...
