My Dell laptop has this soundcard which is giving me a few problems. At first the microphone would not work, I found out I need to load the driver with 'model=ref', because it has the SigmaTel STAC9200 chip. Now I still have a couple of outstanding problems. 1) Sound from microphone not routed to headphones/speakers Apparently this card is made to be controlled through software, so that complicates things. My microphone now works, I can record myself, but I don't hear the sound in my headphones, as I expect to. This makes it less obvious to tell if the recording is working and what volume it's set to. 2) After suspend-to-ram, headphones don't work I've been experimenting with acpi sleep and I've noticed that after I resume from suspend, suddenly there's no sound in the headphones, it's played through the speakers, even though the headphones jack is plugged in. I have to reboot to fix this (or possibly just reload the module, I don't know). So what to do?
