Thanks for your suggestions.
Yes, I've made sure the mic isn't muted in alsamixer.
I just tried Fedora 25, no joy there either.
The Dell Windows driver for this is IDT High-Definition Audio 92HD93 Driver and is supported on the Latitude 3330/6430u/E5x30/E6x30 and Precision M4700/M6700
ie Latitude E3300, E5430, E5530, E6230, E6330, E6430, E6530
ALSA support for IDT 92HD93 was added years ago by http://www.spinics.net/lists/stable-commits/msg13678.html
sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c just uses patch_stac92hd83xxx
enum {
STAC_92HD83XXX_AUTO,
STAC_92HD83XXX_REF,
STAC_92HD83XXX_PWR_REF,
STAC_DELL_S14,
STAC_92HD83XXX_HP,
STAC_92HD83XXX_HP_cNB11_INTQUAD,
STAC_HP_DV7_4000,
STAC_92HD83XXX_MODELS
};
In HD-Audio-Models.txt we have
STAC92HD83*
===========
ref Reference board
mic-ref Reference board with power management for ports
dell-s14 Dell laptop
dell-vostro-3500 Dell Vostro 3500 laptop
hp-dv7-4000 HP dv-7 4000
hp_cNB11_intquad HP CNB models with 4 speakers
hp-zephyr HP Zephyr
hp-led HP with broken BIOS for mute LED
hp-inv-led HP with broken BIOS for inverted mute LED
auto BIOS setup (default)
so I tried model=dell-s14 but that didn't help.
I'm starting to suspect that the support has atrophied in the last couple of years?
thanks .. Jason

First the obvious, did you make sure, the microphone is not muted?
Have you tried a newer software stack? As you already use Ubuntu, you
could give Ubuntu 17.04 a try. Any other GNU/Linux distribution as
Fedora or Debian also work, and provide live images. You can prepare a
USB storage medium, and boot your system from it, without having to
install it.
If the problem persists, please contact the list alsa-devel, and also
report an issue to the Ubuntu bug tracker [1].
Thanks,
Paul
