Here's what I did: 1. I added "options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad" to /etc/modprobe.d 2. I verified that "ideapad" was set in /sys/modules/snd_hda_intel/params/model: ideapad,(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null) 3. I booted to runlevel 3 to avoid pulseaudio from starting, and logged in as my mom. 4. I recorded something using arecord > tmp.wav 5. I played it back. I heard what I had recorded. 6. I rebooted to runlevel 5. 7. I logged in using GNOME, and I looked at the sound preferences menu, in "input". I found that the level indicator wasn't moving at all. 8. I tried a skype test call. It looked like it was recording my voice for 10 seconds, but when it was to play it back, it played back a NULL sequence - not 10 seconds of static, but a sequence that was 0 seconds in length. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do, especially since skype no longer supports ALSA! TIA, Gabriel
