Hi, does anyone know how to use an external microphone with Debian and a Dell Latitude E5500? I've been trying to get it working for a while, but without any success. (once I managed to get the internal microphone "working", but it was so noisy and quite, that I had to cry into it to get an recording and it was still barely understandable) Configuration: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=85fb87e934ec61ee9a983a0e4aa851f3aafdef29 Modprobe config: (why doesn't the script include that? I tried different "model" options, but they were all alike) $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf # autoloader aliases install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-0 install sound-slot-1 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-1 install sound-slot-2 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-2 install sound-slot-3 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-3 install sound-slot-4 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-4 install sound-slot-5 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-5 install sound-slot-6 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-6 install sound-slot-7 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-7 # Cause optional modules to be loaded above generic modules install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-ioctl32 ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq ; } install snd-rawmidi /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-rawmidi && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq-midi ; : ; } install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-emu10k1-synth ; : ; } # Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0 # Keep snd-pcsp from beeing loaded as first soundcard #options snd-pcsp index=-2 # Keep snd-usb-audio from beeing loaded as first soundcard #options snd-usb-audio index=-2 #options bt87x index=-2 #options cx88_alsa index=-2 #options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2 #options snd-intel8x0m index=-2 #options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2 #options snd-hda-intel model=auto options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m82 Benito ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
