[linux-audio-user] Intel HDA microphone settings?

Hello all, I'm trying hard for weeks now to get a working sound configuration for my new laptop. Finally, I'm totally frustrated now and hope to get some help on this mailing list. I have Linux experience since 2003 now, but never cared for sound (no soundcard :-) -- My laptop has one, but doesn't run out of the box 100%. Hardware: Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo M1439G latop Soundcard: Intel High Definition Audio (Realtek ALC880 chip) Distribution: Mandriva 2006.0 Alsa version: 1.09b Issues, I face at the moment: - Sound works fine obviously (system sounds, mp3 etc.) - My gnome-mixer or alsamixer do not have an master volume but internal speaker only! - Toggling volume doesn't effect XMMS at the moment, it continues playing with the same loudness. - I can't record anything in my microphones, both laptop internal and an external one Latest issue is very annoying, because I'm looking forward to have Skype working in the future. I found a little script called "aadebug" which intends to collect all usefull information to debug the sound system. Here is the aadebug output, I take good info out of it :-/ ======================================================================== Output from aadebug ======================================================================== ALSA Audio Debug v0.1.0 - Fr Okt 28 19:14:24 CEST 2005 http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=aadebug http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt Kernel ---------------------------------------------------- Linux localhost 2.6.12-12mdk #1 Fri Sep 9 18:15:22 CEST 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz unknown GNU/Linux Loaded Modules -------------------------------------------- snd_seq_dummy 2532 0 snd_seq_oss 31136 0 snd_seq_midi_event 5696 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 46960 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 6828 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_pcm_oss 48960 0 snd_mixer_oss 16896 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_hda_intel 13280 2 snd_hda_codec 82688 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm 79784 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_timer 20548 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 8392 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm snd 46116 11 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer Proc Config ----------------------------------------------- CONFIG_SOUND=m CONFIG_SND=m CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m CONFIG_SND_PCM=m CONFIG_SND_HWDEP=m CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI=m CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=m CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m #
