Hi,
I freshly installed 64-bit Arch on my Desktop.
2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 7 22:28:29 CET 2010 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ AuthenticAMD GNU/LinuxI configured alsa as said in
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Adv … chitecture
I can get sound through the speakers but i cannot use my mic.
I tried to record using audacity and it did not work. Also it does not work in skype.
Could Some one please help me trouble shoot this problem?
Thanks
Siju

Starting of Audacity gives this error
Expression 'stream->capture.pcm' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 3653
Is this a driver problem? Will this have to be fixed in the kernel?
I switched from Ubuntu 9.10 to arch due to the same problem with Microphone not Working.
Thanks

Well finding that there is no reply to the post here or in the debian mailing list I posted this bug on the linux-kernel mailinglist.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126414072830819&w=2
That was forwarded to VIA and a developer from VIA contacted me asking me to run a script and give the out put to her. After giving her the output I got this reply.
=============
According to your log file, it seems the codec is NOT VIA VT1708/A, but Analog Devices AD1986A. The soundcard is consisted by VIA's Controller + Ananlog Devices'Codec. As following showes:
Codec: Analog Devices AD1986A
Address: 0
Function Id: 0x1
Vendor Id: 0x11d41986
Subsystem Id: 0x1043818f
Revision Id: 0x100500
Sorry I can't get AD1986A's specification and the codec. I'm afraid I can't fix this bug. But I found the recording volume is half of the max value, can you tune it to max, and try again. Or maybe you can try another capture source, such as Line-In to check whether the capture function is good.
I find an error when loading the AD1986A codec, as following shows:
[ 17.596016] hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.
[ 24.732024] eth0: no IPv6 routers present
[ 75.098237] hda_codec: invalid CONNECT_LIST verb 12[2]:2100
[ 702.538641] hda_codec: invalid CONNECT_LIST verb 12[2]:2100
In patch_analog.c file, it seems nid 0x12 is the capture source selector, but the connection of this node is 0:
Node 0x12 [Audio Selector] wcaps 0x30010d: Stereo Amp-Out
Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x00, nsteps=0x0f, stepsize=0x05, mute=1
Amp-Out vals: [0x08 0x08]
Connection: 0
So during loading the AD1986A codec, the above error occurred. Can you transfer this message to the driver maintainer of Analog Devices to check the issue?
Thank you!

Hi,
I got this thing working under OpenBSD through the following steps
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=128634065520092&w=1
I wonder what are the corresponding linux steps :-)
Thanks
