Hello,
I have a Vaio 505JE with an
00:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Yamaha Corporation YMF-744B [DS-1S Audio
Controller] (rev 02)
Subsystem: Sony Corporation Unknown device 8081
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 9
Memory at fecf0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32K]
I/O ports at fc00 [size=64]
I/O ports at fcac [size=4]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 1
sound chip.
The laptop has an internal mic and a connector for an external mic.
The internal mic works fine (except fan and disk noise, it picks up), but when
I plug in the external mic, none of the mics works any more, i.e. the
internal mic is automatically muted.
I attach a full output of amixer at the end, I think the relevant sections are
Simple mixer control 'Mic',0
Capture exclusive group: 0
Playback channels: Mono

Simple mixer control 'Mic Select',0

The Boost works on the internal mic, it has no effect on the external mic.
When the external mic is plugged, the Mic Select makes no difference.
I don't know, what the
Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined cswitch
cswitch-exclusive
line really means.
Any hint how to get the external mic working is welcome.
Thanks,
Rainer
