[Bug 269294] Re: Acer Aspire 5520 cannot record sound with HDA-Intel NVidia Codec ALC268

Andres Mujica:

Adding ubuntu-studio and -plugins (under 8.04)  causes a set of programs
and libraries to be installed, these seem to depend on a special version
of the kernel which is also installed, overwriting the current settings.
Anyway, I'll pay more attention next time.


Mackenzie Morgan:

As I wrote, I can test with a live CD but:

1) I need detailed info on what to do for the test, otherwise all I can
do is start the CD and see if the mic automagically works, this is
hardly the case since most "alpha" or "beta" CDs are not even able to
correctly boot on my laptop, not to mention loading all the proper
drivers. I saw you now listed a couple commands to type, I'll be glad to
try them as soon as I get  a chance.

2) As I wrote before I'm using Hardy Heron that is a LTS, I'd expect the
issue to be fixed on that version of the OS, without the need to update
until the next LTS. Not sure if this will be the case.
