I'm happy with linux-ck, but since I've updated to 3.4 the internal microphone of my laptop (the webcam's) refuses to work, giving no sound or an awful noise. The snd_ modules loaded are exactly the same of a working 3.3.7 stock kernel, and I don't know if a similar problem happens with the 3.4 stock kernel as well, which is still in testing.
Has anyone had a similar issue? Can you suggest something to narrow down the problem?
I'll provide further details if needed.
Thanks

Is this true with linux 3.4-1 package in [testing] or is it unique to 3.4-1 of linux-ck?

I suspect asound.state has more of an effect than one would expect.

I've never tried the 3.4 in [testing], so I can't say anything about it. I'm only sure the stock 3.3.7 works. I'll try one of the pre-compiled packages in your signature, to see if it works and thus figure out where my config flaws.
@brebs
It would be way stranger than the case linked in your post, since the very same installation works fine with the [core] 3.3.7, but not with the 3.4 -ck. Anyway, running alsactl store is very cheap, so it's worth giving a shot.

Neither of the previous two worked. The pre-compiled kernel has the same problem, and storing/restoring alsa state did nothing.
I also tried removing options snd-hda-intel model=ACER. I'm wondering if it's a 3.4 problem with my hardware. I will try 3.4 in [testing] and maybe file a bug, if the mic still doesn't work.

If you verify that Linux-ck is not to blame and that the bug is also present in the ARCH kernel package, please edit your first post's title to not include "Linux-ck."
Thank you.

I'll definitely do it, graysky. I ask to the forum admins to move the whole thread (Kernel or [testing] forums), since, bad news for me, the 3.4 in [testing] doesn't work as well. I'm filing a bug for "linux", and I'll do it upstream too.
Thanks

Ok, things are really getting weird.
Pulseaudio is breaking the microphone input (but only with 3.4), ALSA works instead - noisy as usual, but works. Closing this thread and opening a new one in multimedia.

hermes, please do not mark a thread as CLOSED. Use [ Not Solved ] or something like this instead if you want to give it up that way.
