Solved my own problem. I removed the snd_intel_hda module and did a "modprobe hda_intel_hda model=acer-aspire". This fixed the problem. I'll note this on the wiki since I had to dig into the source to find that model code and I know I'm not the only one who's had this problem. > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Microphone not recording properly on ALC883, Acer > 3103WLMi > From: Paul Goins <general@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Thu, November 15, 2007 7:03 pm > To: alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Summary: Issue with recording, Acer 3103WLMi laptop, ALC883 sound card, > snd_hda_intel driver.
