[SOLVED] Mic does not work on Intel ICH8 (rev 3) sound card

Hi, folks.

I cannot get my sound card to record anything, using a built-in microphone. Audio output works just fine, though. I hope someone can help me, I have been banging my head against the wall for some time over this issue... sad

My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A200-1J0 (PSAE6E-04R036G3). alsamixer settings are fine, I tried supplementing additional options to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf, but no luck, tried some of the combinations (model=<> position_fix=<>).

When recording sound with gnome-sound-recorder, with Capture set as input, nothing is heard. Skype can't record anything, either. I can't even get the crackling or hissing sound like some users do.

Should I try to get the latest ALSA?

Debug details start from now on:

Re: [SOLVED] Mic does not work on Intel ICH8 (rev 3) sound card

Okay, I've managed to get the internal microphone to work after playing with some strange controls in gnome-alsamixer. However, there's a new issue that has emerged now. I hear an irritating, crackling noise in the background when I play something I recorded, and I can't get rid of it. I tried adjusting various levels in gnome-alsamixer, but the noise is still preserved.

Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] Mic does not work on Intel ICH8 (rev 3) sound card

Solved it with:

/etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

options snd-hda-intel model=acer power_save=0

Re: [SOLVED] Mic does not work on Intel ICH8 (rev 3) sound card

Hi there!
I had the very same problem with the same soundcard and found this thread.
The problem got solved for me by adding the same line as you have to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.
However, I also had to create /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf and add:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba power_save=0

Notice the difference on the "model=toshiba" part.
However, my laptop is not a Toshiba, but a Compal IFL90.
I remember that in Ubuntu I needed(a long time ago) to add a line to /etc/alsa.conf with model=toshiba. I figured it might be worth a try, and well, it did.
I hope this can help someone else.
As for the OP: "You have my thanks!"
