Dell Vostro 1320 - Microphone not working

Hi,

although my sound output works out of the box just fine, I can't get the microphone working. Neither the internal nor any plugged in external microphone works. I know that this is a common problem, and tried all available fixes that are flying around through various forums, but couldn't get it working.

Has anyone another good (working ) idea? As said already I tried the common things (adding various options to the kernel module).

Best regards

Re: Dell Vostro 1320 - Microphone not working

Hi,

I can confirm this issue on Dell Vostro 1320. The chipset is 'IDT 92HD81B1C5'. There is a bug report [1] on launchpad. It seems the 'Jack Sense' support is not enabled. The report is for alsa v1.0.21. My current version is alsa-lib 1.0.22-1.

The is no mic sound, but there is some noise when I raise the mic volume, so I can conclude is the same 'Jack Sense' issue reported on [1].

I really don't know when, but some update broke it. Maybe it's a regression.

Same here, on a dell latitude E6410:

alsa-lib 1.0.23-1
Linux 2.6.35-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64
Card: HDA Intel
Chip: IDT 92HD81B1C5

Any ideas on this?
