Re: [snd_hda][AD1981HD] microphone doesn't work

Hi.

There is a laptop with Intel HD Audio Controller on board (HDA Codec AD1981HD) and FreeBSD8.0 CURRENT installed. Unfortunately I can't get microphone working. (7.2-PRERELEASE had been used before switching to CURRENT and microphone had been known as working out-of-the-box on that version of FreeBSD).

Looking through the list exposed message where similar issue was reported: http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/freebsd-current@xxxxxxxxxxx/msg22832.html
But it looks like requestor didn't provide feedback regarding enclosed patch. Also, as far as I can judge, that patch is already in CURRENT, but it seems issue is not solved yet (well, at least I think so).

This patch was merged to 7-stable 4 months ago, together with the rest of driver changes. 7.2-PRERELEASE had snd_hda driver almost (or may be even completely) identical to the CURRENT of that time. So I don't understand the difference. To find any difference in driver operation, try to compare verbose dmesg of the driver in working and not working systems.

By the way, are you sure that problem is in driver itself? Can't be linuxulator, Skype, settings or whatever else problem? What are you using to record sound? Have you tried to use something trivial like rawrec and rawplay?

What microphone are you using: external or internal? Have you tried another one? Are you recording silence or some noise? What mixer settings do you use?

PS: Next time, please, put file somewhere. Inlining broke lines, making difficult to read it.
