if it doesnt work for you add this line instead:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

then reboot and tada!

this worked on my sony vaio.

well i had the same problem,and i put XP pro back in,but it was to dam slow,

so i have put Ubuntu 10.04 BACK IN, BUT BEFORE doing that i put the Logitech mic in the USB slot, and installed Ubuntu it just picket it up and is working beautifully not a problem at all.

So go try that it should work!!

P/S this was on a HP 4310S Notebook.,the mic was a Logitech desk mic!!

this did not work for me as well.

and i think this will work only if on the hardware the uploader has.

[yooyoomine]

@amaranthflavius it works for realtek audio chipsets, sorry forgot to mention but!!! try these steps and maybe u will have your microphone working:

****** try alsamixer in terminal, just type alsamixer and hit enter, hit Tab to switch to capturing devices and make sure every thing is unmuted.

******if that didnt work also - try to install "pavucontrol" application, search in the software center. install and then find it in the sound and video menu, run and see if everyting is unmuted.

@yooyoomine i found the solution on the ubuntuforums. works great. thanx anyway:)
