Hi guys!
As per the subject; I have a MacBook Core 2 Duo (rev 4.1) on which I'm running Arch64. Everything works really well (sound out and even iSight), apart from the microphone. It seems that whatever I do, I cannot get the built-in mic to work.
I'm using alsamixer and I tink I have enabled and un-muted all necessary settings. Has anyone out there managed to get the mic on a recent MacBook to work, and if s - what did you do?
[SOLVED]: Shortly after having posted the "bump" below, I got fed up and started to look into it a bit more. To check if the mic worked I used the Skype "Call Testing" feature, which - with hindsight - wasn't the brightest thing to do.
So I installed audacity instead and started "playing" around with the various settings in Alsamixer. To cut a long (and boring) story short I eventually found some settings that worked (basically "max" out all settings). I can now record voice through the mic (Skype also seems to work), and I have sound out as well. I am a happy bunny.
Thanks!!
Niels

Hello, I seem to be having a similar issue on my Macbook and I was wondering if you could post your exact settings from alsamixer as well as audacity. Thanks.

When I'm back home (on the road at the moment), I can post my alsactl file, that should (hopefully) do it for you.

Do you have a moment to post your alsactl config?
