Hi, I am trying to get my microphone working on my HP Paviion dv 6000 laptop, and I can't seem to figure it out.
Here are some command results.

I am mostly trying to use this with skype and cheese (or anyother suitable webcam app) Skype and cheese detect the webcam fine, but not the microphone. In alsamixer, I made sure I unmuted and maxed all the channels when trying. Everything works except my microphone right now. Any suggestions.

I have a dv6646us and the mic worked fine off the bat using the alsa drivers (mentioned in the beginner's install guide)
Would you mind uploading a screenshot of your alsamixer settings?

Here is my rc.conf as well, maybe I'm not loading a module or loading one that I don't need.

If you need any other information just ask, I would like to get this hardware working.

The snd-hda-intel driver is split by models, usually when modprobing you pass the model option (for automatic setup you configure /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/alsa with: options snd-hda-intel model=MODEL). When no model is provided usually only the basic, minimal configuration is setup. Some models are even divided into sub-models, like acer and acer-dmic is now (from 1.0.18a).
I said "usually" above, because in some (rare?) cases the oposite happens, for instance you provide model=hp but your mic doesn't work although everything appears to be ok... then you let the module probe the BIOS (removing the model option, default) and your mic starts working, and you even get some new channels (i.e. Headphone).
For a list of models read ALSA-Configuration.txt.
You need to install an RTFM interface.

I tried adding that line into /etc/modprobe.conf, but on boot I get a warning saying that that line is ignored. From everything.log
Jan 9 14:43:11 Odin modprobe: WARNING: /etc/modprobe.conf line 5: ignoring bad line starting with 'snd-hda-intel'
So that might be one problem.

Can you please read my message again, this time actually understanding it.

modprobe snd-hda-intel model=hp yields the external and internal channels for capture. arecord + aplay yields no sound. modprobe snd-hda-intel model=auto yields the digita, external and internal channels. arecord and aplay gives me static. modprobe snd-hda-intel model=laptop-hp gives external and internal channels, no sound. model=laptop gives three channels and static.

I was refering to your error message.
You don't necessarily need to base the model on your laptop brand, it depends on your sound chip. Additionaly there seems to be some confusion with those Conexant chips, take a look at this message http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-784597.html and try the suggested model, and all other Conexant 5045, 5047, 5051 models if it fails.

I tried all of the model options, so I guess I will have to wait untill there are some updates in the alsa drivers I guess. From that ubuntu thread, I didn't see anything that made it work. I will have to go with an external mic looks like.
