[Bug 188972] Re: mic not working on dell vostro 1400 with hda intel (gutsy and hardy)

[Leslie]

Hi, I have an HP Pavilion dv6747. It has an Intel HDA Chipset and I have
had the same problem but followed stereoit's instructions and got it
working.

What I did was dble click on the volume control which opened the task bar. Only the play back tab was avalible.
Went to edit>preferences and ticked everything
Then went back and looked at the recording tab and changed both "Capture" and "Digital" to about 75%.
I also edited the "Front Mic Boost" to about 50%
Also went to the options tab and changed it to "Front Mic" (oringally was "Mic").

This got the inbuilt mic working. I have no external mic to test with.

Also the recordings in audacity all need normalising, it might have
something to do with the front mic boost but i really have no idea.
