Internal MIC doesn't work

HI to all

After I solved ALSA problems, and after make sounds getting out from my XPS mixer there's the last bug to fix..... the internal MICrophone that seems to be dead...

If someone had a solution please help

really TnX in advance

I also installed an Ubuntu on my XPS and my mic is well working... Near the clock, you have the sound preference, right click on it - open volume control - option and you choose for "digital input source": digital mic 1... I haven't tried with others choice but this one is well working.

Really TnX for your kindly and useful answer.

I have to say that with Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) all was right, web cam too.

Ubuntu is a very great OS

The only small remaining trouble is that sometimes it take a while to connect to wifi lan. But I don't know if is something wrong in my access point or not.

Last step I have to do is to install Ubuntu inside the 2 internal raid HDs because now I'm running it from an external USB HD.

I've the same issue but before staying on Ubuntu (like my others computers), I also tried Fedora 9... really funny too but nvidia (173.14.05) doesn't work on my 8700M GT. Then, I don't keep it.
Wireless was well working but if I wait 1 - 2 min to establish the connection, like Ubuntu.

I hope bcm43xx will support our wireless card. I presume you also have the draft n, bcm4328?

I don't know how to install on RAID hdd...

ok raid disks are not so simple to manage in order to install Ubuntu.
I've found this guide HERE but the steps to follow are not so easy and user friendly.
Not impossible to do but I prefer to wait next Version of Ubuntu hoping it will support natively the app named DMRAID.

I found this thread in this forum too.... and maybe is better to wait for me ...

FYI, with the newest update, kernel 2.6.24-18-blabla-xx network manager is running faster and I can have a wireless connection in less than 1 min ^^

that's a very nice "news" I'm just upgrading now my ubuntu to check wifi connection.

maybe 48 hours are not much but then new kernel 2.6.24-18-blabla-xx network manager effectively made my wireless connection faster without any lack or strange and long delays ....
